Title: Fuel Gauge
Post by: Stuwoolf on May 13, 2015, 19:06:32: Filled up last Sunday and have covered about 50-60 miles.

Just noticed today that the fuel indicator hasnt budged. How accurate are they?

Had a Kawasaki a number of years ago and the fuel indicator did nowt then suddenly it would plummet.

Is the i30 gauge the same?

A bar, approx 1 gallon, will disappear ever 40 miles.
