370Z Fuel Gauge?!?!

spearfish25 · 04-20-2009, 08:23 PM

The longer I have the car, the more I like the LED gas gauge. Here's why:

There are 16 or 17 LEDs in the gauge (tried counting while driving today...not a great time to do it

). If you break it down and include a gallon of gas after they are all 'out', each LED then represents about a gallon of gas. With the LED system, you essentially have a very close estimate of exactly how many gallons you have left in your tank. Pretty cool actually.

True but I don't know if it's just my Z (or anyone elses), last three dots go out very quick. I can barely drive 30 miles on the last 3 dots....

Yeah, I noticed the same thing.
