Fuel Guage Reading Incorrect
-
@a283c5fc31=hussar203:
Hi, since I got the car the fuel guage has been reading incorrectly. When its full it reads full, as you use the fuel the dial drops to empty quite quickly but there is still a lot of fuel in the tank. I did a test, from full to empty I got about 230 miles, the guage shows empty at about 186 miles, now I know theres about 40 something miles to go before empty, or do I?. Have any of you had the same problem? or does anyone know the fix?. Not a massive problen I know but if I don't sort it out I'm going to get caught short. Thanks
got the same problem, no fuel light, goes empty around 160 miles in the city although still 40 miles at least left in the tank

you guys must rev the poo out of your engines, i get at least 250 miles before it says empty, then its roughly a 33litre fill up!
-
if you drive in the country that's fine, but dare to try it in the Dublin traffic and you wont get 250

My new MX-3 average is 200, prievious MX-3 was around 190, that's doing about 30 miles a day in traffic never going over 60mph most of the time. If I'm lucky I'll get to belt it a bit!
Sometimes I do hit the counrty lanes and then rev the poo outta it :twisted: 6.5k + rev gear changes. It's fun! :D
But yea motorway driving I get more mpg if I don't floor it. So easy to belt along at 120 when you're not paying too much attention to your speedo!
James, yea I agree a 33 ltr fill up, you must take it easy in yours to get that mpg though mate.

yeh i rarely get over 3500rpm sometimes upto 4000, I have a bike to get my high revs kicks now so the car gets an easy life, to be honest so does the bike!
-
What bike have you got, just bought my self an NSR.
-
got this r6 in december, just about getting the hang of it!
-
Very nice :D
-
Nice bike you got there James. I like the NSR's too Mechanic, some proper 2 stroke fun!
I got my CBT last August so I'm pootling around on a Suzuki GN 125 at the mo, can't wait to get my license. Was hoping this year but the way things are turning out it's gonna be next year. Really want a VFR400, balance of fuel economy and speed!
You do give your car an easy life! Trouble I find with the MX is, it sings to you if you rev the nuts off it! :lol:

did my CBT in July, and test in October, I was riding a rs125, it was fun because it was always at the redline, it felt like you were pushing it loads only doing 70mph.
My r6 is restricted though to 33bhp, still fast as fook though, I've had it to 60 in second @ 10000rpm, it redlines @ 15000rpm :shock:
best part is the reg on the R6 first line MX03
