well i didnt know if this was a problem of if it's just me going crazy so i thought i'd ask you guys. if i post in the wrong section..please move because i didn't see where else i could post this..anyways...


ok so usually sundays or mondays i fill up my tank (05 TL). usually after the end of the work week and the weekend i have about a quarter tank or a tad bit more. ALWAYS pump 91 octane from shell, no excuses.

so yesterday i had about a quarter tank and i went to pump gas. 91 was at 2.63 a gallon at the shell by my house. i didn't fill up because someone was supposed to fill me up for free. anyways, i pumped $20 just in case the person didn't come through and fill up my tank. soo $20 gave me about 7.6 gallons (so it said on the pump) BUT to my surprise/convenience, once the pump reached about $17.50 it stopped...

so im like wtf..kept pumping and it kept stopping..i slowly pumped all the rest and it all went in without overfilling. i get in my car and i have a bit over a FULL TANK.

at this point im like wtf..i had a quarter tank, pumped $20 at 2.63 a gallon and it says it only gave me 7.6 gallons yet im topped off??

how could this be??? im still tripping out on this.

any ideas??

cliffs:
- had 1/4 tank
- pumped $20 at 2.63 a gallon
- pump said it gave me 7.6 gallons
- tank was topped off according to the fuel gaue
- trip computer's mileage matched how much gas i had (full tank)
- confused..lol

duuuuuude.... pass me the joint

 

i am officially lost with all these random posts...or they are all just over my head.....

 

 

lol!


were u driving the car pretty hard before u got to the gas station (causing the needle to drop)?
maybe u had more than a quarter

 

I thought this was going to be about funny little pieces of paper.

 

nope...i drove from home and i cruised it all the way to the gas station..a little less than a mile away from home. and i had a quarter tank or less.. I'M SURE so i don't know...lol

 

STP fan?

either that or I'm starting to trip out too

 

lol.. dont worry bout it then.

just drive it till ur next fill up and see what happens.... unless someone swapped out ur gas tank with that of a civics

 

might be that...

Something could be wrong with your gas sensor.

 

good info, thanks!

i was thinking that too, i will let it play out this week and fill up again to see what happens.

 

I can't stop laughing!

 

say what?

 

what what in the butt?

 

Don't worry about it too much ... sometimes the gauge or MID is not accurate ... sh** happens ... a few times my MPG number reset by itself (normally it's accumulative) & I just shrugged it off ...
