I have 4 bars left and still cruising . Stopped at my girl's house , and took off an hour later; and wow! what did I see, my tank doesnt have 4 bars anymore and the light shines brightly on "OUT OF GAS"!!! Very concern I took off to the nearest gas station, 5 miles, and guess what? 4 bars came back. What the heck!!! It wasnt just once, a couple of times already.

 

I noticed that too. It will jump between 2 and 0 bars. Just tonight I drove about 30 miles on 0 bars. LOL

 

it's a know issue of the S's fuel meter, heck all honda's i drove have that issue, you'll use up 70% of your gas and it will show half on your meter.. the last half will be done in about 50 miles... hehe.. you just have to get used to it...

i think it goes up and down because of temp change(gas expands a lot) and settling... of course i can totally be wrong...

either way.. it's normal... try just putting 2 gallons of gas when it is almost empty and drive around.. you'll notice that it will go as high as 1/3 of the meter...

 

yea its start doing that when i put my 255 fuel pump in it but im used to it now

 

weird, so used to the old style, now with digital, should have known its flaws as well. Thanks guys.

 

eh im used to it. both my hondas do it so i dont even sweat it i just juice up when it gets to a 1/4 tank

 

the digital just isn't accurate.

 

I think the current gas milage conditions affect the reading. In other words, on the highway cruisining a gallon is worth say 4 bars, in the city, the same gallon is worth 2 bars. It seems that way at least.

But if I depended on the gage alone, I'd have been left on the side of the highway months ago. Use the odometer too. If it's near 250 miles I fill up before getting on the highway.

 

Were you parked on a hill? The float reads differently if you are parked on an even surface.

No mountain or hill. Just a regular city road. Didnt go on the freeway then into the city either, it was all city.
Thanks guys for your comments and thoughts.
