when my fuel gauge reads roughly 1/4 tank or below the performance drops SIGNIFICANTLY. i cant find any posts related to this, so:
is it normal? (some kind of fuel conservation bs device)
is it indicative of fuel pump failure or some sort of crap in my tank? (ive already replaced the fuel filter... it always happens right at 1/4 tank)
example: there is a very steep hill with a stoplight at the bottom that i raced a ricer up one day (and beat him) and i usually use it as an opportunity to pass alot of traffic (most cars cant accelerate up it, they usually slow way down) normally i go shooting up it at WOT like a bat out of hell but when im at less than 1/4 tank i actually start slowing down while climbing. (not to mention general acceleration/speed is ****ty everywhere else)
