Fuel gauge accuracy
#7
fuel level seems to rise slightly with motorway driving?

sustained highish speed so engine using power and producing more heat, fuel is heated by the eng cooling system and then the return to the tank is cooled by the little "rad" under the car, so fuel temp goes up a bit in the tank and expands???

never had the low fuel warning ligh come on so don't know if it even works?

she seems to be a bit sluggish starting in these cold temps the past few days, 5 compressions instead of the usual 4, and clatters for the first 1 to 2 seconds then goes sweet again......its the cold I think........is winter diesel being sold now ( for some time I feel ) at the pumps?

she seems to be doing 60ish mpg with local driving ( no motorways here ) ....
