I wasn't addressing the factual accuracy.

I thought you were pretending to indicate you had the car knowledge to identify a car just by the gas gauge instrumentation. You know like someone having a picture of a Distributor Cap, and you saying without seeing anything else. "That looks like a 77 mid year Granada coupe with a 302" or some sort of "profiler like" preternatural ability to deduce crime scenes by a scant amount of evidence.

I will defer though, the two gauges look very similar.

Very cool article. The things one doesn't know that one doesn't know. I love this type of stuff.
