The gas gauge on my '75 164E makes me laugh.

You fill it up and the needle gets perfectly aligned with the full mark. Drive about 5 minutes and the needle drops like a rock to the 3/4 position where it will stay for quite a long time. Then it will slide a bit below 3/4 and then drop like a stone again to about 1/4.

It is so funny to watch. I don't think I've ever seen the needle at 1/2 and I mean ever at 1/2 it just races past it.

I think that the Volvo gas gauge is absolute proof that the Swedes have a sense of humor.
