The gage does not go down proportionally, or at least mine doesn't. It seems to take longer to get to 1/2 then from 1/2 to empty. This is typical of many fuel gages. </div></BLOCKQUOTE> This is true...The reason why this happens is when you fill your tank and top it off, the amount of fuel in the tank is always above what the "F"on the gas gauge is...so you always have that much more fuel to use before you hit the gauges "F", compared to when the gauge hits the half mark, that is the amount of fuel in the tank. Thats another reason if you check your mpg for the top half tank("F" to "H") compared to the lower half("E" to "H"), you'll always show better gas mileage with the top half....your starting with more fuel...Plus it is always difficult to match every time you fill your tank with the exact same amount of fuel...too many factors that can effect it...
