I've noticed the bars aren't too accurate. For me it seems like when I'm at 3/4 of a tank I'm really at 1/2 because the first two bars take a long time to drop but the others drop faster. I'm at two bars under half a tank with 220 miles on said tank.
EDIT: When I'm at ~70 miles I'm only missing one bar MAYBE. Definitely not two. Weird. I'll take a picture and do some math next time.

i see where you are coming from when it comes to these digital gauges on not being accurate, which is why I do the calculating on my own when I run down.
Either way, getting much better fuel economy now that I replaced the leaky injector, when before I was around 15mpg.
Now for this exhaust leak, so I do not smell it when the AC is on and I am sitting at the light.
Yeah something is up because when my gas light starts flashing, I fill it up all the way and put like 14 gallons in it tops till the pump stops but my manual says I have a 20 gallon tank. I doubt my light should start flashing if I have ~6 gallons left. I'm not ready to call it's bluff though haha
While i was at upull, snatched a 3rd brake light off of a 94 blazer. Going to put it in the back behind the rear window up top (since I have the whale tail) I think it will look good. 4 LEDs were burnt out on the left side, 2 LED's in, so i just removed 6 from each side to even it out, still 32 on there.
Next up on this list, more sound. Getting 6.5" Cadence components that I am going to mount in the kick panels, Running them at 100w rms. Probably more like 90 per since I am pretty sure this amp is over rated.
Well, the components are put on hold for now, not that anyone cares LOL! There are some other things I need to work out, one being, replacing the cab mounts. But before that. I am redoing the tail lights. This time they will be PWM (pulse width modulator) controlled. so the whole board will act as one, instead of having to separate out signal/stop and parking with their own LED's.
This time, Instead of using cheap china made superflux LED's, I splurged and got some HP luminled's. HPWT-DH00-F4000, they are the brightest, and best quality superflux LED's on the market.
So I hope to get this done asap, because the truck looks really weird with stock tail bulbs.
The reason I am doing this, I have noticed for awhile that the cheap LED bulbs get washed out in the sunlight, they just are not bright enough. In the dark they look great though.
Anyways, onto a couple pics
PWM


and all the little LED's, 240 to be exact. (they sell for .40 cents per LED. I got 240 of them on fleabay for 56 shipped. Win)
