Gas Gauge mis-read

**So-CalVX** · 03/16/2009, 12:38 PM

I'm getting my normal 14-16MPG's but I get fifty miles out of half a tank and then about 225 out of the second half

Yeah... my VX sucks on mileage still

Same here...

I get a consistent 15.5 or more overall but the first half goes by quick on the dash at least.

It seems like we're all having the same issue. After I fill up my gauge will drop to 3/4 tank in about five miles and dances around like a chihuahua on crack. It quickly drops to 1/2 tank after that and then takes a long time to get down to empty. I'm still getting the same gas milage that I always did, but the gauge mis-read is really starting to bug me. Would replacing the sending unit in the tank take care of this?

I guess i'm lucky,i haven't had any issues with my gauge so far,works perfectly,i also think the sending unit may need replacement or adjusments.

My gas meter has ADHD! I find it very annoying and distracting . I keep peeking at it to see what kind of silly place the needle will be. When I fill up it will be either past full or at .75 full , But just for a second or two then it will change ,then go back and so on ,for about 60 miles . Then wham o .25 of a tank left ? I am getting about 17 mpg between refuels . I do a lot of mixed driving (highway/city ) . All in all I still love my dragon , and this community . Dang I need to get (TJH) into that nifty green color .
