Topdog, when the fuel gauge shows 1/4 of the tank is full, in actuality that is really only about 1/8th of the tank being full. You are getting such little distance out of the fuel because there's so little in there. The 1/2 way mark on the gauge is the point where the tank is a little more than 1/4 full. The 3/4 mark is really only about 2/3 full, and the full mark is about full. The gauge is not linear. It has been this way for a long time, on just about any car out there.
Doy you know how many gallons you fill with to get to that 1/4 mark on the gauge typically?
