When the ignition is on,
your fuel gage tells you
about how much fuel you
have left.
When the indicator nears E (EMPTY), you still have a
little fuel left, but you should get more soon.
Here are four things that
some
owners ask about. None
of these show a problem with your fuel gage:

At the service station, the gas pump shuts off before
the gage reads F (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 when you turn a comer or
speed up.
The gage doesn't go back to E (EMPTY) when you
turn off the ignition.
For your fuel tank capacity, see "Capacities and
Specifications" in the Index.
