Has anyone noticed that the first (top) half of the fuel gauge seems to move slower than the bottom half? Like it takes longer to go from full to half way, versus half way to almost empty. Am I just delirious or do other people notice that too?

 

Conspiracy!!! Just kidding, Ive noticed and confirmed it with the number of miles driven during each "phase" of needle drop speed.

 

yup tons of cars do this



a lever with a floaty thing on it probably isnt the most accurate gauge of things

 

I've noticed this in the RD as well, but didn't want to say anything for fear of sounding tin-foil-hat-ish.

 

Yep, same here. My LC drops mega fast around the middle third of the gauge, whereas the X3 drops really quickly to begin with, then drops slowly for the second half of the gauge.





What faith said.
