Quite a few cars do, actually. In fact, the Mondeo might be one of them. Simply because (like my friend's A4) they have that "distance til empty" readout. The A4's gauge has always been accurate, even just going by the odometer alone. It's really not to hard for the computer to say "ok, we're getting 3/4 of the fully/empty impedance from the sender, but we know the shape of the tank means that it's 26/32 and not 3/4". Purty simple.
