The dipstick method is the only "guage" per say, but the TF has a low fuel
level light. In the middle of the dash there are three lights, it's the
light on the left and I believe it should have a blue lens (mine has a
green one). The light comes on when you have 3 or 4 gallons of gas left.
This is assuming every thing is working correctly..... Trust me it tends to
go out when you need it the most! MG's are the only cars I have ever run
out of gas in.
