Hi zacc,
Our fuel guage is very accurate, within a couple of litres for each quarter; 90 litre tank so half on the guage is very close to 45 litres. The low fuel light comes on early with about 12 litres left and the needle on the guage will go below the empty mark, when the light first came on I initially thought the last quarter on the guage was small but it's not.
Hope this helps,

I think that the NM tank is a bit funny in terms of being able to fill it properly every time. I'm sure that sometimes it doesn't take as much as it ought to, especially on a hot day. No matter how careful I am with slow fill towards the end, and how many clicks of the hose I give it. Maybe it also depends on whether the servo forecourt is level or on a slope???
So I guess trying to assess consumption on the basis of a gauge reading is pretty rough and ready, same goes for assessing gauge accuracy on the basis of how far it's moved for a certain distance travelled - I wouldn't rely on it to any extent.

My original Pajero experience - '90 NG Superwagon, 3.0 V6 manual bought new and kept until 1998. Great vehicle, no problems apart from the noisy valve lifters typical of that engine.

Recently did a trip from Sydney to the snow and back and averaged just under 12.5, and that includes a lot of 110km/h freeway.

Hi
I agree with the other comments that the guage is quite accurate. Having tracked kilometres as we crossed Aus.
I also have found on emptying the tanks on 2 occasions is it holds 92 litres which is comforting to know you can get all the fuel out plus a few litres.
