Fuel Gage When the ignition is on, your fuel gage tells you about how muchfuel you have left. Here are four things that some owners ask about. None of these show a problem with your fuel gage: 0 At the gas station, the gas pump shuts off before the gage reads FULL (F). It takes a little more or less fuel to fillup than the gage indicated. For example, the gage may have indicated the tank was halffull, but it actually took a little more or less than half the tank's capacityto fill the tank. The gage moves a little when you turn a corner or speed up. E UNLEADED FUEL ONLY When the indicator nears EMPTY (E), you still have a little fuel left, but you should get more soon. The gage doesn't go back to EMPTY (E) when you turn off the ignition. For your fuel tank capacity, see "Capacities and Specifications" in the Index. 2-77
