You are trusting the gas gage. Fill it up all the way, make your

an accurate fuel measure.

He has a accurate measure of the gas, or at least fairly accurate.
Using
the gas pump for the volume. Miles driven sounds bogus.

I would trust an odometer before I would a gasoline gage.

You wouldn't trust this one. :-)

Gas tank gauge is fine. How do I know? Because the Saturn has a
12.2 gallon gas tank. When the gauge read 1/4 full, I filled it
up.
Took 8.2 gallons.
The problem is the total mileage odometer. It reads 2.48 times the
actual miles driven. Trip odometer reads accurately as does the
speedometer.
Craziest thing I've even seen.

I don't think anybody has addressed your original problem. You bought
a beater and now you
are complaining because it is a beater. Just carry a gas can in the
trunk and when you run
out of gas, walk to the nearest gas station ...

Good grief. Nobody gets it. The gas gauge is just fine. Forget
the question. Sorry I asked.


I really think Bert was making a funny. I laughed my butt off. I'll bet you could call these guys
and get an odometer sent to you for very little. Look how much fun it would be to rip apart the dash
and put in a replacement.

They sold me a brand new tail light for the Silverado for about half (with military discount) of the
best price I could find online.
