Alright... whenever my gas tank gets to the quater of a tank marker the car asks if it has run our out gas. However my red gas tank light does not come on, does this sound like a bad float or a bad fuel pump.

 

How does it 'ask' ?

 

Your car talks to you?

 

We had a 1st or 2nd gen that talked to us "fuel is low" haha I wish the 4th gens talked lol.. But It still never asked us... Maybe he means acts... The car acts if it has run out of gas?

 

yea acts as if it runs our of gas...

Fuel pumps don't work as well when fuel is low. Maybe the pump is on its way out

 

my car ran out of gas even though needle was pointing on the 1/4 line. wierd havent did it since. also my car acting really strange lately use to get 28 mpg on the highway and 25 in city now im getting around 32-34 mpg on the highway and 28 in the city.

 

My mileage has jumped huge also. I haven't done anything to it either. I'm getting 5 mpg more than usual.

 

The cold weather will kill gas mileage more than in the spring/summer.

 

My light comes on at 1/8th, then when I hit about 1/16th the light goes out and it hops up to even more than an 1/8th, (almost 1/4) and the light goes out!! Found that out when I first got it and I ran out with almost 1/4 tank and no light! I replaced the entire sending unit with one I had laying around from a much lower mileage car, condition never changed........

 

i duno if its the warming weather but i recently replaced my very very dirty fuel filter and my mileage became a lot better, i did put a 300z filter on at the first quarter mark i am at about 136 miles where i used to get about 80 miles on the same mark...waiting to see what the end of this tank brings

 

Are you fawkin' stupid?




EDIT: Cold here is at most 40 deg.

 

^^
Well cold in Nebraska and New york is below 0. Please think before you type.

 

Werd. It gets so cold here that it would make you FL pansys freeze, literally. It's like us NY'ers goin to Antarctica. With windchill it's negative 20 sometimes. You spray window fluid and it freezes basically instantly. Or better yet, your heater buttons and dial and stuff freeze completely and you have to let the car manually warm it self from engine heat and body heat before you can turn the dial just a little to get some air pumpin into the car.

 

I thought I'd point out that even though I've resided in FL for a bit, I'm from Montreal.. I know the cold, just not how it would affect mileage.

 

If it just happened it could be some water in your gas and when the level gets low it gets moved around more. A good fuel treatment should help that.
