Dead horse thread.
Fair enough.

But I would counter that so long as the problem continues to arise, even in nearly-new Z's, then it's relevant and worth discussing.

Totally agree, there are far bigger problems in life than a flaky fuel gauge. And yes, there is much gnashing of teeth over a fairly trivial problem. But that is, IMHO, the gist of every automotive forum I've ever visited.

However, in my case the gauge actually appeared to get stuck. I drove 100+ miles with all-but-the-last-dot lit. Had it not 'magically' started working again, I could have eventually run out of gas with the gauge reading "Full-1". I was curious if anyone else has experienced this, as that is a bit more concerning than just a 'won't-hit-F' problem.

I wonder if a Miata fuel gauge would solve the problem . . .
