    Full tank levels??? 92' Accord

    Okay so i have been driving my "new" 92' Accord DX (it's a coupe) and how much fuel is left in the tank at the half way point? Also when gas the light comes on? i know it's 17.04gal (lol sticky) but how does this work out with the gauge?

    thank you for the help,

    It would be about 8 and a half gallons halfway give or take a little. Next time you are on empty, try putting in 8 and a half gallons and see if the gauge is around the halfway point. I'm not sure how much gas is left in the tank when the light comes on. I have never even seen my light on before.

        Well that's actually a fuel sending unit problem. If working correctly, the gauge should be a really good representation to how much fuel is left in the tank.

            On my Civics it would come one when there is 1/8 of a tank. But I've gotten pretty low and my light still hasn't come on... I wonder if there is a broken connection somewhere

                  Mine will get all the way to empty line and still not engage.. I'm a little scared to push it though lol.

                  Side note... How many miles are you guys getting to a tank? I'll fill up from empty about 12.5-13 gallons and get about 280 miles.

                    that's why ask i put in 5g and it went up half a tank(1/4 to 3/4) - and i have driven 100 miles and im at a half now so what do i just have amazing gas?
                    5 speed f22a with 80k and 4-2-1 header, cold air intake, exhaust and all that but 40+ to the gal, really?

                      mileage is all dependent on driving style, condition of your motor, tires, etc...
                      still though 40mpg is unlikely, unless the last hundred miles was behind a big rig doing a constant 60. haha

                      curious though, does it matter? if your gauge is in working order, is there much need to know specifics? a gauge like any other metering device can vary. so half tank mark (although usually acurate) can still be a little off.
