Fuel Gage
Your fuel gage shows about how much fuel is in your
tank. It works only when the engine is on. When the
indicator nears
“E,” you still have a little fuel left. You
need to get more fuel right away.
Here are some concerns owners have had about
the fuel
gage. All these situations are normal and indicate
nothing wrong with the fuel gage.

At the gas station, the gas pump shuts off before the
gage reads
“F’.
It takes more (or less) gas to fill up than the gage
indicated.
For example, the gage may have indicated
1/2 full, but it took more (or less) than half of the
tank’s capacity to
fill it.
The gage moves a little when you turn a corner,
speed up, or stop your vehicle.
When you turn the engine off, the gage doesn’t go all
the way back to
“E”.
Low Fuel Light (Option)
If your Buick has this
option, a yellow light near
the fuel gage will
go on
when
you are low on fuel.
You should get more fuel as
soon as
you can.
