Fuel guage math question......?

Speaking of fueling up the car... you guys notice the fuel nozzle doesn't go in as deep? I actually put more more effort keeping the nozzle in and upright. It feels like it doesn't go in deep enough [knock on wood].

After the last light goes out, you should have, "I'm guessing/assuming 2 to 3 gallons".
"But if you take it that low, you're going to suck up the crap and gunk from the bottom of your tank"! Not a good thing to do! I wouldn't go below a quarter of a tank!

Half lights, $20.00 for sure!
