Take a look at the FUEL gauge showing 3/4 tank - true, I'm an optimist, but I think everyone will agree that this is a pretty FULL tank. Now notice the digital reading in the Tach gauge... "FUEL LEVEL LOW" 34 miles to "E" (meaning empty). Now I'm sure the car is running since the needle is where it's at... man, that's some bad gas mileage :lol1: Nothing like Ford's Job One :kaboom: or whatever they call it now.

Oh, btw... just in case you haven't guessed, this is an 07 Shelby being sold on eBay - at time of this post, it was at around $57k and Reserve Was Not Met.

They may have just started it, the rpms are still high, and the needels all sweep on the start. May just not be the gadge was done sweeping?

Hmmm, another fine Visteon-sourced electronic device, no doubt.

I can't see paying 50+ for any Mustang. I'll take my 500hp from a Windsor in a Fox body, thank you.

First thing I noticed was the 1500RPM 'idle' :). Now personally I would think thats a lot more concern than fuel tank reading low. As someone stated it does appear that gauges could have been reseting.

Yep, I just was about to post...

The oil pressure should be well into normal on an idling car..Especially on a cold start, His motor is cold AND his pressure gauge is low?? I dont think so.....

Where's the oil pressure gauge? I'm seeing what appears to be a boost gauge in the upper right, but no oil gauge?

You will actually have the highest oil pressure when you first start up the car, by the way. Mine is normally at least twice as high.
