mine confirms to this determination. ie both the fuel gauge and the “range to empty” are always matching in error.
One interesting thing I’ve discovered during every long distance trip I’ve taken with the 2002 XKR: when given a few hours on the road, the old float mechanism decides to act right and gives totally correct information for the rest of the trip.
I think it’s the constant vibration that finally frees up the sticky float and allows it to move up and down as it was designed to do.
For me, it’s just one of those endearing idiosyncrasies that make the car unique. And I have no intention of fixing it unless I have to dig into the fuel tank for other reasons.
