Odd, mine is pretty accurate.

Both bikes I've had have had rubbish fuel guages though. My current BMW basically says "You've got more than 100 miles to go! Full tank!", until I know I've got about 40 miles left, when it goes "FUEL LIGHT ALERT!!! UH OH!!! SORREEY!!"
 
Fuel light! What a luxury! First found out my hornet didn't have one when it conked out, luckily outside a petrol station (literally). Went home, read the manual and found out about the reserve. Oops.
 
My first Ducati 748 didn't have a fuel light, well, it did. But was broken... Oh that was fun for the first couple of rides! Went to hemel hempstead and on the way back to Reading, I concked out on the M4 at J7 or something, van pulled over. Driver said he owned a R1 and could drop me off at the next junctions petrol station but not take me back. Sod it, accepted and went with him. Got to the petrol station, bought a little jerry can, filled it up. Walked over to 2 bikers who were chatting. Before I said hello, one asked if I was stranded. I said yes, he then drove 15 miles to drop me off at my bike. I offered money, petrol, he wouldn't have any of it. I started up my bike, all fine, before I even got my helmet on he said "You going to be ok mate?" I replied yes and thanked him, off he went! Within 40 mins, I spend 8 quid and got home :D

AA... Hmmm, £100 collection and drop of to a petrol station within 10 miles... With a wait time of 2 hours. Sod that.

Bikers own :D
