Did you calibrate it i did mine yesterday its pretty easy but of corse you will need 16 gallons of fuel to do this

No I dont think 98 octane will bother it. I use 98 octane when I can, which is most of the time, and Avgas only when I have to. The different fuels dont affect my fuel level readings. Tip, when you calibrate the gauge, get a long stick and calibrate a dipstick at the same time. I keep my dipstick behind the seat.
If you have a taildragger, sit the tail on the ground for the stick calibration. Will obviously need the tail up in flying attitude for the gauge calibration.
