Had car in shop 3 times to fix an inaccurate gas gauge. They finally claim its fixed, it seems to be working, and when it says i have 50 miles left to go today my car stalls out in the middle of the road.

Luckily, i was able to walk about a mile to a shady gas station.

Guess it's back to the dealer....grr....

Default don't you monitor how many miles you drive? I don't even have to look at my fuel gauge

by how many miles I have driven, I know about when I have to go get gas.

Default yeah. i thought maybe i was have a good mileage week...

i usually get about 280, and had about 300 today.

guess it was too close to call

but i'm just annoyed that my stupid car didn't realize it was out of gas....

Default wow... only 280 a tank huh? I average between 330-350 before 1/8th of the tank is left.

but then, I drive almost all freeway and not all that fast... so I save a lot of gas.
