My gauge seems to pick up any addition of fuel. I've added half a gallon during challenges with the fuel light on and it turns off the light and moves the needle.

My car rides better in STX trim.

However, ground clearance is more of an issue as the STX tires are shorter and I have to run a full exhaust to pass sound with a header. And the exhaust rubs.

It is now 8 years since I've owned an STS Honda and parts availability was an issue then. You just can't get stuff like the check valves that keeps your gas in your gas tank.

Mostly just pointing this out for my STX livelihood, but 2nd in PAX at a tour (even on shitty courses) is still impressive.
