What does the "R" mean?

Does anyone know why for the fuel gauge, an "R" is shown near the empty portion?

hmm Both seem like very logical answers, thank you. I just had never seen that on the gauge before.

i dont know for sure but it DOES add horsepower. adding an R, type R, or any thing related to "R" will bump up your horsepower i hear. it does wonder to civics with adding "type R" stickers so it has to do something for us! :D

hope this helps

in Japan (where the car is made) that is how most of their gas meters read in cars. they don't do the standard F 1/2 E like in stupid american cars...
