It's not foolproof, but could give you at least an approximation. Maybe that's what you're doing at this time, I don't know. My Hyundai tells me how many miles I've gone and approximately how many miles I can still go. When that figure (how far I can go) gets to the point where I feel more petrol is needed, off to the gas station.

Thanks for the suggestion. However: 1) The bars are not easy to count. Try counting the number of ones in the following column: 111111111111 2) a bar may not drop down until you drive two blocks after leaving the service station.
I would like someone to invent a guage that tells how many gallons are needed to fill up and how many gallons remain in the tank. For example, suppose your tank holds 12 gallons and you burned 4 gallons. The gauge would read 4/8. Just like that! What could be easier? 
Any inventors on this board? Invent it and become a multi-millionaire.
