It seems pretty close on mine. I checked it for a few tanks when I first got it, and it was close enough that I couldn't tell whether differences were the gauge or not filling the tank exactly the same.

Radio? Do they still have that?

there is still sometimes a 2 second delay between turning the key to "start" before the computer will fire the 12v starter (you have to turn the key and wait).
Sometimes with mine the no-start is just not having the clutch pedal all the way down. Especially if you have a floor mat, mine (which came with the car, but might not have been OEM) would sometimes slide under and block it.
