I had my s10 for 10 years and my gas gauge lied to me exactly ONCE! Not for 6 years before and not for 4 years after. I was like wow, I've got almost 400 miles on this tank (I usually got about 450 if I stretched it) and still have over a quarter left (a quarter tank was always 3 gallons, I remember estimating I had about 80 miles left). I ran out of gas going up the next hill. I remember it clearly as it was the first time I had to walk to get more gas and get home. I don't know why it stuck just that one time. Crazy stuff happens. This was an inline 4, 2.2 liter that had almost 180k miles on it when I sold it. I never did any drive train work on it outside of maintenance, unless you count the chronic starter failure, but that's why I always drive a stick, there are so many more options than proper operation.
