[QUOTE="TruckerDragon, post: 2007435, member: 39235"]I recently got into my own truck (yay) and ill be posting pictures soon, but one thing happened to me today that could have been a VERY bad thing. Let me give you the setup: Filled up before bed, woke up, drove, and drove and drove, all told probably around 14 hours of drive time + 8 hours of idle. Gauge still said full at the end of the day, parked at a loves and went in to take a shower, come out and the gauge is below a quarter of a tank. The guage went from full to 1/4 tank or less just by sitting. Now, my question is, is that a 'feature' of the volvo that the guages set themselves after being stopped or is this a common problem? Perhaps because the truck is brand new the sensors are still breaking in? I just dont wanna get stranded outta gas :P Now this is not a 'flame volvo' thread or anything. Legit question on my new truck. Other than that? I love this truck so far :) Roomy, comfortable, lots of storage, quiet....[/QUOTE]
