i recently was tryna do my gauges and broke the pointer for the gas gauge and the little ACTUAL NEEDLE that is inside a lil motor which controls the fuel gauge. anways i couldnt fix it and now my gauge is broken but after about 300km = 190miles , the gas light comes on. so do the actual needle and whatver controls the gas light work together as in if one gets messed up so is the other or no. cuz it cant be possible im gettin half the fuel economy i shud be getting. my car is pretty stock, i checked gas tank and lines no leak anywhere..??? THANKS FOR ANY HELP.

If you really want to check your gas mileage just fill up until the nozzle auto shuts off, take note of the station and pump you used, reset your trip odometer, and drive for a few days. Then fill up at the same pump until it auto shuts off and then divide the distance on your trip odo by the liters you pumped. You don't need a gas gauge to determine gas mileage.
