Gas indicator

Rockstar · 04-05-2009, 01:22 AM

Not that I am complaining or something, but after a 60ish miles ride (started with a fuel tank), the gas indicator doesn't even drop. Is this normal?

Your "gas dots" should at least be down by two (2) at the 50 mile mark.

Weird, it doesn't even drop a dot

Should I be worried?

Are you reading it while the Z is started or in the "ON" position?

Iceman: It was all highway.. Come to think of it I googlemap the distance it comes down to 50.9 miles. So that could be it.. hopefully. I will take it for a drive later today and see.

Socal: ON I think? I mean I noticed it while I was driving home last night.

Dont be worried, mine does it too. Sometimes I drive for a long time without losing a dot. The problem is that once you lose a dot...they start disappearing faster

Ah thanks

and yes the next day after we got out of the garage it dropped a dot

Thanks everyone

I knew the new 370's had several on board computers. But I didn't know they had their own email address. 50miles dot com. Now that's cool

I know my try at humor is beyond belief and I would never make it as one of Leno's writers.

50 miles on a 19 gal fuel tank is nothing

90% of my driving is hwy and when i fill up, my first dot goes around 65 miles...then it drops around every 25-30 miles.
