For 1990-2009 cars

The fuel gage indicates how much fuel the vehicle has left.

An arrow on the fuel gage indicates the side of the vehicle the fuel door is on.

Here are four things that some owners ask about. None of these show a problem with the fuel gage:

• | At the service station, the gas pump shuts off before the gage reads full.

• | It takes a little more or less fuel to fill up than the gage indicated. For example, the gage may have indicated the tank was half full, but it actually took a little more or less than half the tank's capacity to fill the tank.

• | The gage moves a little while turning a corner or speeding up.

• | The gage does not go back to empty when the ignition is turned off.
