Fuel Gage - Oldsmobile AURORA 2003 Owner's Manual

Fuel Gage
Here are four things that some owners ask about. None
of these show a problem with your fuel gage:
United States
Canada
When the ignition is on, your fuel gage tells you about
how much fuel you have left.
When you have less than 3.5 gallons (13.2 L) of fuel
remaining, the DIC message LOW FUEL will be
displayed and a chime will sound. You need to get more
fuel right away.
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 when you turn a corner or
speed up.
The tank is not necessarily empty when the gage
reads empty. There is a reserve of about
1.5 gallons (5.6 L) in the tank. You should still get
more fuel as soon as possible.
