- Everyone has driven different vehicles. Gas gauges vary greatly. My 2000 Jeep Wrangler's gauge quickly goes to half way, but then takes a long time to travel to empty. My 2005 Mazda RX-8 was just the opposite. How about yours? Another interesting thing about my Mazda RX-8 was it had a section in the sun visor that had pin holes so you could see traffic lights when the sun was behind the lights.
