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?

No idea about the petrol, but I lose the 1st bar on my gauge around the 165 mile mark.

The fuel gauge won't plummet. Simply when full, the fuel level is higher that the float so it remains in that position until some fuel is consumed, but even then, the gauge is fairly linear with the amount in the tank.

Mine seems to work as required.

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