this is fuel starvation, not a running out of gas situation. In hard right turns, the fuel must slosh or something and doesn't get into the pickup. I've been towed off the track before not knowing what happened, and I'm fairly sure that had I just shut the car off and restarted it, the fuel gauge would have reset to half tank, where it really was.

btw, exiting the carousel at Road America at 5500 rpm in 4th gear, it is happening to me occassionally with 1 dot not lit (basically full tank!), and always with 2 not lit. major PITA!

Spearfish rode with me today and got to experience it in my car as a passenger. It can be scary at 100mph with someone right on your bumper and you unexpectedly slow instead of accelerate!
