The flying car isn't purely science fiction. In the 1940s, inventors managed to fly a car from California to Ohio, although the model never took off because of cost and technical limitations. But in 1973, an inventor named Henry Smolinski tried to succeed where others failed by strapping the wings and tail from a Cessna aircraft to, of all cars, a Ford Pinto. During a test flight in California, the Pinto broke free, plummeting to earth and killing Smolinski and his passenger. Some things are better left to the movies.

Simply noting the URL would have been the smart thing for him to do, instead he attempts to impress us with his knowledge.

My gauge screws up fairly often. But it corrects itself within a half hour or so. I understand why it corrects slowly, it is buffering the level data. But I don't understand why it gets a bad level reading to begin the cycle.
I know for a fact it will do it if you don't turn the key off during fuel-up. But it does it other times too.
