1993 Pontiac Grand Am Owner's Manual - Page 93

Fuel Gage Your fuel gage tells you about how much fuel you have left, when the ignition is on. When the indicator nears E (Empty), you still have a little fuel left, but you should get more soon. Here are four thingsthat some owners ask about. None of these show a problem with your fuel gage: At the gas station, the gas pump shuts off before the gage reads F (Full). It takes alittle more or less fuel to fill up than the gage indicated. For example, the gage may have indicated the tank was half full, but it actually took a little more or less than half the tank's capacity to fill the tank. The gage moves a little whenyou turn a corner or speed up. The gage doesn't go back to E when you turn off the ignition. For your fuel tank capacity, see Service Station Information on the last page of this manual.
