How to read a gas meter in a vehicle?
Look at the gauge square on, very straight and very carefully – while the vehicle is stopped, on a flat surface, with engine running. Look for at least a minute because sometimes they’re sneaky and prone to change. Then simply read off where the needle is pointed. Interpolate if the needle is not pointing directly at a value.
Which is the lower number on the gas meter?
Read the dials left to right. If the hand is between two numbers, always select the lower number. When the hand is between “9” and “0,” then “9” is considered the lower number. When the hand looks as though it is DIRECTLY on the number, look at the dial to the right. If the dial on the right has passed “0,” use the number that the hand is on.
