Default RE: Gas Gauge Issue

Had the same thing happen to me. I made a long trip a week ago and had a 1/4 of a tank left. I go out the next night and it tells me 11 miles till empty. I fill up and it only took a little over 10 gallons. I thought it had something to do with my tune i just installed a week prior but since others are having this problem then i'm going to assume it's not that. I guess it's a problem with the 06's. They better identify it and get it fixed!

I just took mine to my local dealer for the same problem, and for a whining noise in the back of my car. The first time I carried it they said they would probably have to replace the gas tank. That was a few months ago. Well I lost track of time because of senior project stuff and finally got back to carrying to the dealer again. When they called 2 days ago, they said it would be ready yesterday and that I needed to run 3 tanks of Chevron w/ Techron gas in it. They now say it is probably a sulfer build up and that should fix it. IDK what the deal is, first they say replace, now the gas. I can't do either until they fix the rear differential, which apparantly is causing the whining when I turn.

I had similar problem earlier this week. I had filled up Friday evening with Chevron. I got a little sideways going to work Tuesday morning. ( I still had 3/4 of a tank left at this time) After work, I start my car up and the gauge shows 1/4 tank. Now I'm pissed cause I think somebody has stole gas out of my car. As I drive home, the gauge slowly rises back to 3/4.. This is the first time this has happened to me.
