My gas tank shows completely empty even though it was just below half a tank when it died. This is extremely frustrating to say the least. I thought my Nismo was their "purpose built" race/track car. How could something like this not be accounted for?

1. Should happen to any decent sports car.
2. The Nismo isn't a purpose build race/track car, that's the Nismo RC. IMO it's more race "inspired". There are many short comings besides this that make the nismo not a purpose built track car, number one being no oil cooler.
3. The gas gauge is woefully inaccurate. A half tank is more like 1/3. Quarter is more like 1/8. And an eighth is more like empty, less then 2 gallons.
4. The only practical everyday solution is to be mind fuel of your fuel level and taking long sweeping turns then not full.
