There isn't a fuel gauge on a F4i. The only time you know how low you are on fuel is when you are in the reserve and have about 40 miles to go. I reset my trip every time I fill up and fill up with the same amount of fuel (3 gallons) so when I get to around 120 miles I know its time to start looking for a gas station.

Agreed. There is one on the F4 and RR but for some reason they didn't feel it necessary to put one on the F4i.

Yeah, I noticed that too when I first got the thing. Just remember your average mileage, and when you need.

at the chance of sounding stupid, to go to the reserve tank, do you have to turn a lever.

No, you don't need to flip a lever or anything for reserve. It works like a car.

no u dont, its more like a level in the tank once you get to it its the "reserve" and the light with the bars come on-does that make sense?
