Oddest thing has starting to happen to my fuel gauge.
I run the tank down like I normally do, down to the 1/4 - E stop at the gas station, fill it all the way up until the pump stops. I get in the car, turn it on and look at the gauge and it is still reading empty. So I'm looking at it confused, turn the car off, wait a few mins, turn it back on, and it shows that I've got a full tank of gas. It just bugs me I don't know if I should worry about it, or should I try to fix it. So far it's done it with the last two tanks that I've filled up. Any ideas on what's wrong?
