Mine was very sensative, If you set off quickly, it emptied. When you braked hard it filled up, when you went left it emptied and filled when you turned right.

If there is a full tank, it's super quick. If there is less than half, then it's quite slow. Also takes ages to get to half from full, then after that it seems to go down rapid

Mine takes so long to go up that I don't know how much I have most of the time as I forget to look later on
Doesn't have far up to go at the moment though  Bordering the red bit

my td was pretty accurate tbh, my brothers 12v is all over the place though.
The c however... May as well not have a gauge it's that useless

oh i know the petrol gauge is unaccurate as fuck! I just assumed as i saw a mates corsa b (which is older than mine) and his petrol gauge was fast reacting it was in fact working and mine wasnt as it was slow as fook to register.
I know it goes slighty faster if you have a full tank etc but thats not what i mean

on my old corsa i had got the same thing as some one said, above half way its takes ages to go down, but then under half its goes really quick, an also cost less money to get to half way then to full. but now in the golf miles till empty is the way forward.
