[QUOTE="xtracooljustin, post: 76442, member: 67"] not only E34 but lot of other cars... u c... the gauge for fuel is not a linear kind of scale... i dunno how to put it in proper english. but a lot of other cars r like that too, even my toyota and E28. u c, the fuel tank is not exactly square/rectangular in shape, n i think the fuel inside is measured by the level of fuel inside, n not the amount. the fuel tank is probably in an irregular form mayb designed to b bigger at da top n smaller at da bottom. So the gauge doesnt really give an accurate indication of how much fuel is left, 50% shown on da gauge doesn't neccesarily mean 50% fuel left in tank, it is much less. just my 2 kupang ;) [/QUOTE]
