Is it possible for the fuel gauge to jam? It's still stuck steadfastly to the top, indicating a full tank after 160 miles. Assuming I did in fact tap into a seven litre reserve, that's about 80 additional miles. It usually starts to fall after about 50 miles, which would make 130 with the reserve filled. But it should have moved by now. I'm wondering if filling up into the reserve (if the case) has jammed something. The computer is properly ticking down the "miles to next fill up" gauge, so that's OK, I shouldn't run out without any warning. But the fuel gauge is weird.
