My 2006 has one and the gauge does exactly the same as yours Halford :) It's went from Perth to Dundee, about 25 miles on dual carriage at 65-70 way with the light on all the way but it was VERY close to dry.

My 04 Mode doesn't have one

As above, i can get about 100mile out of half a tank, and then the 2nd half lasts a good 160-180mile before hitting the red

The needle behavior is not consistent on mine either, but it has a different pattern: it will stay at full level (over the "tank full" line) for about 50-60 km, then drop to about 75% quite quickly, then slowly creep to 50%, then it drops quickly again to about 25-30% of the scale and then again slowly to "empty tank".

Some experienced mechanics told me that over time, the fuel gauge develops a pattern of its own depending on how often you put gas in, how often you top up the tank and so on. Therefore I don't rely much on it, just the light bulb and the "A" odometer which seems to give me exactly ~400 km until the yellow fuel light comes up :laugh:
