pre 98 did not as they have more colors on the dash, the red on the gas guage is suppose to indecate the reserve gallon or something like that

I just hate how inacurate that guage is....sometimes it will be at the bottom of the red and I will have 2 gallons left and other times I have 1/2 gallon left. anyway to fix this annoying thing?

my 95 SE mtx doesn't, i was always under the assumption that we didn't have this option.
maybe someone can enlighten us on what years/models had this feature.

ohh, shut DOWN!
- could I get one by swapping dash parts with a post-98? and is the light accurate at all? I usually fill up early, but my commute home from school is the most podunk roads in north central PA, and there just aren't gas stations sometimes.

Seeing as it was added in later years, probably would have to do a lot of rewiring. I guess there is a chance the wiring is already in the cluster harness, but probably not. There are unused holes on every cluster, such as the "sport" indicator that was used in Europe and is on our clusters but not used. I can't remember if a gas light was one of the unused on our clusters. My guess is if it is one of the unused things (I could check in a couple of months if no one else gets around to it), then there is no simple way of adding a light. If it's not, then MAYBE swapping a new cluster in would work, but I still doubt it (not without adding buncha wiring).

I highly doubt you could switch clusters to get the light as since it was added later there would be the wiring for it
if you don't trust the gas guage start noting the miles per tank, as that should be fairly consistant and let you know when you need to fill up
you should be watching your mpg as if it goes down for other reasons then weather you know you have a problem

well, I do have a leaky injector so measuring gas milage isn't really going to work that well. Also, last monday I drove 300 miles and still had over 1/4 tank left and a week later I did the same drive and I had way less then 1/4 tank. I should get that injector fixed one of these days though.
