Two odd things I've noticed on mine.

Yesterday, when I started the H2, the fuel gage registered a little lower than half-way between 1/4 and 1/2 tank. It stayed like that for about two full miles of driving. Then it went up to about 1/2 and stayed there. Then, after some more driving, it was just a hair below 1/2. I filled up my tank (made sure it was full) with 13.1 gallons.

Has anyone else noticed this delayed movement of the gage?

Also, based on the gage, I would have about a 26 gallon tank instead of 32 gallons. When the gage goes empty, do I have about 5 or 6 gallons as a "reserve" left or something? It's kind of wierd that my gage reads slightly under 1/2 tank when I have 19 of my 32 gallons left.

Also, my "range" thing always reads way low. It always seems to indicate that I have the range that would equal the number of gallons I should have left times about 8 mpg, even though I've been averaging 12-13 mpg since I bought it.

These things aren't big concerns, but I was hoping someone could let me know if my system was acting odd in a way that's similar to everyone else's H2s, or if I'm alone on this one.
