[Overdrive]

hey, steel_3d, regarding the fuel gauge not working: while it could just be straight up broken, if the tank runs close to empty and you do not fill it up either completely or I believe at least 3/4 full (someone else to confirm?) the gauge will not operate properly and would actually require that the dealer recalibrate it for you. I believe there is something in the owners manual about that, because I'm pretty sure that's where I read it. It sounds like it's just broken, really, but when you told me that the guy says he put 10 bucks in (meaning 2-3 gallons out of 16), the fuel gauge hasn't received enough fuel from the empty level to show a proper reading.

Whether you pick up this particular Boxster or another, I'd recommend never letting the tank drop below 1/4 (indicated) to ensure that you don't run the risk of running dry should the gauge be out of calibration. I know my gauge exhibits the same problem as RandallNeighbour, but what usually happens to me is that the gauge will read a little over 3/4 after filling the tank, after driving for a short distance the float moves the rest of the way to read full, and then within maybe 50 miles of driving it's making its way back down to 3/4 and starts reading normally from there. So for me, from 3/4 to 1/4 it's accurate enough.
