The gas gauges on these things are notoriously inaccurate - the analogue gauges are worse than the digital gauges on the dash screen, but the digital gauges are still not really great! Especially not on the 2013 & earlier RT's. :banghead:
If you want to find out more & see/read what others have done, just type '
Gas Gauge' into the
Search field; tick the '
Search Titles Only' box in the drop-down list below that; submit the search; and settle in for some reading! There's
LOTS of info about them having this problem; a couple of posts explaining how some have improved there's, but not resolved it; and heaps that suggest that your best bet is to use the gas gauge as nothing much better than your best guess at how much gas you have less, so you are better off using your trip meter, just like many here already do!! :lecturef_smilie:
You can spend a lot of time & $$ chasing an improvement in your gas gauge accuracy; or you can spend nothing on it, just work out how far you can safely go without ever emptying the gas tank completely (they
need to keep
at least a couple of quarts remaining in there
always, or you
WILL start damaging potentially expensive things!
), and then simply reset a trip meter every time you gas up, never going beyond your safe range...
That'll be more reliable than anything you can do to either the analogue or digital gas gauges, and it'll be a whole lot cheaper in the long too! nojoke
Just sayin' :thumbup:
