The fuel gage tells you approximately how much fuel you have remaining when the ignition is on.

When the gage first indicates empty, you still have a little fuel left, but you should get more fuel as soon as possible.

Here are things some owners ask about. None of these indicate a problem with your fuel gage:

    •  At the gas station, the gas pump shuts off before the gage reads full.
    • The fuel tank will take either a little more or a little less fuel to fill up than the gage shows.
    • The gage moves a little when you turn a corner or speed up.
    • The gage doesn't go back to empty when you turn off the ignition.
