You can always trade up to a 98+ LS1 car
....the gas gauge is actually pretty accurate in my 99...you can even drive 20+ miles with the "check gauges" idiot light on and the gauge on dead E lol.....not so for the 94; 1/4 tank means only fumes left lol....do LT1 cars even have a "low fuel" or "check gauges" light like LS1 cars do?
If so mine has never worked ![Sad](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_sad.gif)

The check gauges light comes on in my 97 Z for low fuel. I've ran it to nearly touching E on a road trip and it didn't run out (thank god)

My "Check Gauges" light came on once because of low fuel, and I had about 3 seconds to react before the motor stopped. 5 miles before that, the gauge read 1/4 tank.

It's not the cluster, it's how the float is reading it. And yeah, at the 1/2 mark, I am 10 gallons in on mine. When it says E, it ******* well means empty. I put in 15.3 gallons when I first got it and it had just touched E.

My '94 z28 has a low fuel light. Mine also goes way past F when full and empty at E. With roughly 3-4 gallons left in the tank the gauge reads 3/4 full. I've never seen that low fuel light on, though.
