Ok, maybe it's just me, but do the gas guages in GM cars(like my 98 T/A) seem a little screwy? Like, when I parked my car at walmart, it was a little below 3/4, when I started it back up, it was over 3/4. Also, sometimes when is hift into or out of park, it'll move quite a bit. Also, does anyone else notice the needle moves faster after it goes below 3/4 of a tank or is that just me?

My car does the same thing.


The main reason for this, is that the gas tank is sort of shaped like a 'V'. The gauge just takes the depth of gas in the tank. As gas gets lower down in the tank, it's used faster than at the top of the tank due to the smaller volume. Thus gas is used quicker. The half way mark is actually only 1/3 full.
