    i have a 1992 svx and was wondering if any one had gas guage problems with it? i go about 200 miles and it at E the light is not on and it only takes about 12 gallons of gas. i have been everywhere and it says 18.5 gallon tank and the lights comes on when its down to 2.3 or something. i just need to know if i can push it when it gets down to E.

    I have never had a problem with mine, the only thing I can think of is the dash has most likely been apart, and they forgot the mark the needles where they should have been... where are you located, there are a few of us on here

    LOL, freeway or city... realistically, I get about 25 freeway/highway and about 12 in the city, but thats all because of how I drive

    I'm getting about

    20mpg over all and I do lots of highway. Well I was getting that until my trans went out but there is a rebuilt on it's way from Subaru for it and the warranty company is paying for ½ of it. So now I got new powersteering pump, wheelbearings and tranny in my 92. Also have more money into it now with my ½ of the trans but it's still better then a car payment. Now I need to add a tranny cooler to it.

    Not sure what to say about your gauge. I fill around ¼ tank all the time.
    Are you the one I saw parked down the road from the Vo-tech and BP Subaru?
