Default Weird Fuel Gauge??

Howdy,

Just a weird experience with the fuel gauge. Story goes like this...

WP Fiesta - I went to the service station to fill up with Vortex 98 (Full Tank). The guage was on two small bars and like that for atleast 30 kms. So i fill up the tank all the way till its slighly over flowing. Came to $44 Bucks. I look at the total litres purchased and it says 36.13L (i reassure you the tank was completly full). Now that means that i would have had 8-9L prior to fill up. But at the moemnt fuel econ isnt too great and i would say it would have turned over to the one bar if i did drive any more.

Does this sound about right??

On previous occasions i have driven down to the last bar (warning light is on) and filled up the same way (full) and would get 42-43L.

Any ideas would be great.

Cheers

Damo
