You guys talking about the Half-Tank Gauge???

Yeah.......you guys need to have that fixed. It _should_ indicate somewhere 
between half and Full for the first half of the fuel tank and then (140mile 
mark for mine) fall immediately to Empty and start giving you the 
persistent "you've-only-half-a-tank-left" red indicator.

If it's not doing _that_ then somethings wrong. Rattle your dealers cage 
until he gets yours to truthfully indicate which half of the fuel load 
you're working on........
