    Try searching on "guess gauge" or "gas gauge" you'll see that no one understands the gas gauge other than if the last pip is flashing that means "GET GAS NOW".

    There is a threshold for amount of gas added before the gauge resets, which it sounds like you were under.

    Enjoy PC!

    Hey Pman.
    I was going to respond but was intimidated by your avatar.

    The threshold for auto-reseting the gauge is three gallons. It sounds as though you were right here. Perhaps another half-gallon would have done it. At this point, you will just need to keep mental note of the amount of miles driven since the refill until you completely refill.
