My Vz was fine as is My current VE... where has Holden admitted having an inaccurate fuel gauge ?
You used to get distance to empty even after the low fuel warning. For me at least, on earlier models, it seemed to be pretty accurate right down to just about empty. But seems enough people complained that they ran out of fuel by relying on the distance to empty, that they just disabled the display of distance to empty when fuel got low.
Instead, they could have made it accurate enough so that people could rely on it (as Ford did, I understand), but instead they decided to stop showing distance to empty when fuel is low. Seems to me that's saying "ok we've given up trying to give you accurate figures when the tank is nearly empty".
According to a dealer, that's how it's made and there's no option to go back to the behaviour of earlier models (but experience suggests that many dealers don't know too much about some of these things).
It's a minor whinge really - it's more about what it suggests about their attitude than anything.
