If you always fill it up at 300 miles, you will always be at least 1/4
tank from running dry. Very bad thing to run out of gas with fuel
injection...

What's keeping you from troubleshooting and fixing either the dash
guage, wiring, or, the the fuel sender in the tank? My bet is:

1. corroded or loose wire connection on the tank connector
2. disconnected dash wiring
3. defective sending unit
4. defective dash guage

I just bought a 95 Honda Civic EX. Vtec with 5speed manual
transmission.

The gas gauge does not work. The previous owner told me "to be safe"
fill the tank every 200 miles. When I do this, It usually takes about
5.5 gallons.

I was wondering if other civic owners can tell me what their average
total miles per tank full they get (based on the 5speed). I drive
mostly highways @ 65mph & I usually shift at 2.5 on the tach.

I drive 100 miles everyday, and it sucks filling up every two days. I
plan on getting the gauge fixed, but with my work schedule I wont have
time for about a month.

Any input would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Jesse
