About a month ago I filled the tank with gas and realized after driving about 25 miles that my gage was STILL on empty. This problem has been recurring frequently and is following on the heels of a 'computer adjustment' from the dealer that was required after the use of ethanol. I'm being told that there is no way to isolate the problem other than to remove the gas tank and replace the sensor (which someone else told me means to replace the whole fuel pump assembly. I find is hard to believe that with today's technology there is no way to isolate the problem and that to replace a simple sensor you have to replace a $200 part AND remove the gas tank.
