    Fuel Gauges

    It may sound strange, but I like a well thought out and easy to read fuel gauge in the car(s) I drive.

    I've seen some gauges in which there is a big dot at the end of the needle, making a precise reading difficult.

    Of the three gauges below, I prefer one of them over the other two. Tell me which of these three gauges you think looks best:

    I like #3 because its sort of cool retro.

    I'm actually a fan of circular gauges.

    Second. It's more accurate than the first one, at least.

    Niko, what car does that fuel gauge come from?

    I'll go with 3 it looks like the most precise and easiest to read while driving.

    I think it's from a last generation Toyota Celica...

    Lol. That is the best one, no doubt. Notice that the ones I posted are all below 1/2? It costs a lot to keep 3 cars with a full tank.

    Love discussion on fuel gauges
    WHy ? Because it's one of the WORST, least accurate sensors in the whole car !
    Owners soon "Learn" how it behaves and adapt to it, so how it looks in the dash is all that really matters. I like the curved one

    I prefer the second one, although they're all very old and uninteresting...

    2008 ftw.
