I can get 180 miles on the first 1/2 of my gauge too, then about another 100 or so on the second half.

As far as gauge performance, 75 mi til it finally hits 3/4, then drops.


Quickly.

I got fsck'd then. I got no power windows or mirrors on mine. Good thing I didn't want those things, eh?

On the highway I'm about a hundred miles from fill-up to dead-on the Full mark. Mixed driving it's about 75 miles, and strictly around town where the town is only a mile across it's a tad over 50.

Me too. The only power I've got on my '95 comes off the back side of the crankshaft.
