Ok everytime i get gas, i reset the trip and fuel info... i do it everytime.

When i got in my car this morning all of my trip and gas info was reset and i was halfway through a tank. So did someone get in my car, without a key, hotwire the s.o.b just to reset the trip and fuel info or maybe im goin nuts this happen to anyone else?

It happened once to me on my 1991 when I was out of town for about 9 days last March. The clock was also way off, so I assume for some reason it lost power for a time, and when it came back on all the info was reset. I have had no problems since.

Ham fingers

I hit buttons and knocked them off and the interior lights selector when putting in my window shade screen and didnt realise I did it. The shadow knows.

Is Rod Serling your neighbor? Have you had a close encounter? Do you feel like you have been probed or abducted? Hearing voices? Double vision?

No, you just lost power from your battery for just a sec. Better check the battery cables.

If you have an AC Delco battery, the terminals have a habit of falling off with the cables attached. Check that out, happened to me ten years ago, got rid of the crappy AC Delco and never had that problem again.
