so Arlin brought this up from last week and i figured i'd ask here to see if anyone knows the answer:

why is my gas gauge giving me false/incorrect readings? is it because i own an ap1?
after i park my car, right before i turn the car off, it says 3 bars of gas. after putting the key and turning the ignition to the on-position, it says 6 bars.

is my car trying to troll me, or is it normal for this to happen?
if there's a way to fix this, i'd greatly appreciate it so i can keep track of my gas mileage more accurately.

thanks in advance!

If u want to keep track of your gas download an app called acar for android.

But I have thr issue where mines would add 1 bar sometimes.

Is it the same day or the day after? Maybe your fuel has just expanded due to high temperature.

i never trust any of the gas sensors in any given car, i always count the miles.

Sketch. Are you driving on an incline before parking. Or parking on an incline?

literally right after i turn off the engine, pull the key out, put the key back in, turn to on-mode, and voila! instant 3 bars of gas!

yea but i'd like to know a rough average of gas i use each day through the gauge. i still do that on the lexus and accord

The floating sensor in the gas tank could be getting stuck...research on this.
