I'm thinking it'll be easier and cheaper to buy a scanguage and check fuel that way + gain about 10000 other options.

You still need to teach the missus to look at the scan gauge but I see how you have come up with the excuse for more toys

Usually mounted above the steering column.
I don't own one as I don't have an OBDII port, but hopefully someone who does will confirm whether you need to reset the scan gauge everytime you fill up.Comment

Yes, a simple thing to do. This ensures accuracy.Originally posted by amts View Post[B][SIZE=4]ntp

Does it automatically sense the fuel level? Or you tell it when it is full and it deducts the fuel amount based on fuel usage volume?Originally posted by ntp View PostComment

You input amount of fuel used. Based on a full tank of 180L, it then determines range based on fuel usage.Originally posted by amts View Post[B][SIZE=4]ntp

Read the manual. Looks like every fill up requires an input to the Scangauge. Same as for the Torque Pro app.Comment

This whole inaccurate fuel reading is bugging me at the moment as well. I know that once I hit 1,500km on the trip meter it's time to find fuel - I don't have a problem with that, but when the fuel level light comes on and then off and then on again over the course of 60km and then after it has stayed on for a while after having driven another 60km, I fill it and get only 164L into it... I would like to concentrate more on what's in front of me than whether my fuel gauge is telling the right thing or not.Stan Miko

Wow, 1500k? Good mileage. About the best I can hope for is about 1400 ...1kdj120,steinbauer and 3inch dominator exhaust. Pulls really well tho, pleasure to drive.Comment

To add to my post,if I fill up at around 90l,it takes a tad over 90 but seems to drop faster on the second 90 when running from full.Comment

Yes same here with my 4.0 . gets below half tank and goes all over the place. Gets between 1/2 and 1/4 and the needle drops to the bottom and the light comes on. Park it for a while and then it is back to normal. I just fill it up between 1/2 and 3/4Comment

Thought mine was the only one, but my 4L seems to have the same issue as you guys. Once i get below half on the second tank it varies all over the place, get in to drive its below a quarter, the next drive its back above a quarter tank. Seems to sort itself out once it gets right down near empty, doesn't vary at all really then and the then I normally fill up when the light comes on, takes about 155L to 160L when the light come on.Originally posted by BiLLz0r View PostComment
