OK -it's a Palio - stop the next person who walks past you, ask him how much he has in his wallet, and accept whatever he has to take it off your hands!

Mine is a bit sketchy too. You get used to it though. e.g. I know that if mine shows just under 50% then I'm running on reserves. So between driving history (highway vs urban), KM reading and (incorrect) petrol reading I can eyeball it to within about a liter or 3.
The issue is that the petrol tanks are shaped weirdly to fit into the car's empty spaces so the true level doesn't drop evenly. If the repairs/electronics don't match that 100% then you get weird readings.
Occasionally gets you a compliment from the petrol attendant too if you can call the liters on a fill-up beforehand. Best so far is off by 100ml. Mostly 2-3 off though.
That being said...I traveled with an oke that had borrowed someone's landcruiser (with extended tank). Holy sht. Got up to 1.5k until said oke decided thats full enough for today.
