    2 weeks ago galing ako Mantrade, picked up my car and had to refuel since my needle was touching the last line sa gauge.

    Usually, if I fill up with P500 in ANY station the gauge will reach a tad above the 1/4th line.

    They fueled up, pag dating ko sa may Fort/McKinley, I realized that my gauge hasn't even touched the base line of the 1/4 line. Parang P300 lang kinarga.

    I was thinking na baka low na talaga fuel ko kaya di umabot.

    4 days after, I loaded up sa Petron near our place, the fuel gauge needle was actually lower than before... This time, the P500 (Extra padin yung kinarga) reached OVER the 1/4 line as it should be.

    Grabe mandaya dun.

    Ganyan din sa Petron Kapitolyo Pasig / Shaw Blvd.

    Before, mga P1100++ lang ang full tank ko. Then nung sa kanila, umabot ng P1500++ ang full tank.

    Kaya ngayon sa Petron EDSA na lang ako.

    When you gas up, tinitingnan mo ba yung meter nila? I know it's not 100% accurate, pero sometimes, it deters the boys over at the gas stations from cheating you.

    Also, sometimes hindi accurate yung gauge, minsan akala mo nasa last line lang, pero actually it's much lower, kaya pagka-karga mo, hindi umabot sa 1/4.

    Either way, I'll watch out for that gas station. ;)

    Bry, as stated, the needle is actually HIGHER than my second refill. Besides, the discrepancy is too much, at least 3-5 liters of fuel was missing.

    I agree. Just playing the devil's advocate.

    Petron FB Harrison near EDSA..

    Alam ko ang Pajero Gen II nasa 85-90 Liters lang ang kaya ikarga. Correct me if I am wrong though.

    Hindi pa umiilaw yung fuel gauge ko tapos kinarga nila 87 Liters. Wow.
