Fuel gauge acting up.
I had 225 miles elasped on a tank of gas. The fuel gauge showed about 1/2 full as I drove home yesterday. Suddenly I hear a "bong" and look down to see the "Check Gauges" light, "Low Fuel" message on the DIC, and the gas gauge was at zero (empty). For peace of mind, I pulled into a gas station and topped it off with 11.5 gallons. The system then showed all normal indications after that. What could have happened?

fuel sensor, common problem
put some high octane in to clean it off or some fuel cleaner-about every 20 fills
mine used to do it all the time now it doesn't
