Yeah mine has moved in chunks too. The other day I filled the tank up and I was driving for a little bit. After a quarter tank was burned, the odometer showed about 71 miles. The next couple miles I nailed the gas a FEW times, and the thing sank to about 2/3 full, but the odometer only read 74 miles. [:@]

Same here. I always figured it was the shape of the tank that caused it.

They have a TSB for that on the new 06 GTs. The tank is smaller in the middle than on the sides because of the fuel pump. There is a sender on the driver side of the tank that pumps fuel to the pass side of the tank than that sender on that side pumps it to the engine. We have had 2 GT in our shop so far with this.
