So, something strange happened the other day which I've never heard of happening before...
I was chasing an S15 down the A12, (at 70mph obviously) and I watched as my fuel gauge dropped from slightly below quarter, to the light coming on and it telling me I have 50 miles left. My first thought was a severe fuel leak, so I slowed down to 50mph to crawl to a fuel station. After about three minutes the needle began to climb again and the fuel light turned off, it went right back to where it was before.
I know fuel gauges are inaccurate but really?... Can anyone shed some light on this phenomenon?
