Anyone else notice their gas gauge goes down quicker after the half way point lol

 

ha i have noticed that

 

Seems to be the norm. I think it has to do with the float level and having fuel sesperated by the center, instead of one flat bottomed tank.

 

A lot of cars seem like they burn through the bottom half of the tank quicker. I personally hate the electronic gauge in the evo x's. I hate how its constantly telling you how ****ty the gas mileage is too haha. One minute ill look down at the gauge and it says 200miles, then 20 min later of doing some run arounds and it says like 160, it floats too much. I like the old school gauge in my 9, moves a little slower lol

 

My eclipse does the same damn thing. You think to yourself, this might be the best mileage I've ever gotten. Then you get past a half tank and your spirits drop a little

 

Hahaha I just found out last night because I never let the car go below a half tank since I got the car last may sept lastnight was the first I try to keep the tank full

 

Does this mean that filling back up when it's only half-way to empty will get me better mileage?

(Or should I save this question for tomorrow?)

 

Maybe if anything just a little better.... I like keeping my tank full because of fuel pump reasons

 

Supposedly it Evaps faster with the extra room after its half empty. Not sure if that's true though

 

Ethanol Evaps in the gas tank an turns to water if tank not full I use star tron to kill the ethanol so that don't effect me

 

Ethanol evaporates and turns into water, eh? And lead can be turned into gold by whispering certain words, too, right?

 

no it doesn't. Well it kinda does. Gasoline evaporates too bro. Put a bucket of each side by side and watch them both disappear magically, "star tron" or not. It's not a sealed system, either. Look behind the carpet on the left side of the trunk and you'll see a big vent structure that allows air to go in or out and not condense, which is why we don't go up in flames every summer.

the gauges do that, and have ALWAYS done that-in all cars- because it gives the feeling that your gasoline "last a long time!", which increases the overall consumer satisfaction with the purchase. You've noticed Im sure that when it's on "empty"-it's still a gallon in there...which is 10% of fuel capacity. So why isn't the gauge 1/10th of the way up then? Because then you wouldn't get gas yet, and you'd run out and be mad at the car. Just like a MPG Gauge-okay, that's a joke, but consumers look at it like "ooohhhh I'm getting 50MPG now!" no, you're not

 

shhhhhh don't tell everyone, I'm gonna launch a new gas tank supplement called Whisper Tron that makes gold dust come out of my tailpipe!

 

Hey like I said dont care what anyone says I use star tron in my gas tank an Lucas synthetic oil stabilzer every oil change... they must be doing something right since you see them all over an I'm keep all you updated when I get over 100,000 miles on a stock turbo an motor running a stage 2 from changing my oil regularly an using their additive breaking the motor in Nicely I already told yous I never broke a 100 mph yet an have 13,000 miles I take care of my **** don't beat it an atleast I kno I got the power to take off just incase I need it

 

When you say something silly, such as one molecule morphs into a completely different molecule when it merely evaporates, you have three choices. You can say "oops, yeah, that was silly"; you can double down and defend the nonsense; or you can try to change the topic, as if you never said the silly thing in the first place.

The third option isn't the correct one to choose, dude.
