Useless Fuel Light
My '98 Doge Dakota (2.5L 4 cylinder)has a fuel light that would come on when the truck was at 1/8 tank. That's freakin' useless. I want to know when the needle is on empty when to hurry to the station because of the glow of the fuel light. When the tank is at 1/8, I know it's low enough to think about getting gas. I don't need a light to tell me what I can plainly see on the guage. When the needle is pegged and the light goes on (on most cars) you better not waste time filling up.
I think Dodge was designing that with idiots in mind.

Yea I have the V6 version of yours same year and the gas light is useless, It says it comes on with three gallons left, good for the 11 gallon tank but with the 22 gallon, 1/8 is roughly 4 gallons so the light is stupid
The '99 Dakota has the same problem. When my light comes on, I have approximately 5 gallons of gas left in the tank...
