Today my gas gauge whent fron half a tank to full while I was driving down the road. The amout of miles I could Drive also whent way up. I heard pepole talk about them going to empty but not full. Once I turned off the key it whent back to half and is working right now. Has this happened to anyone else?

I agree - run a bottle of Techron through it and hopefully it will work fine.

YUP !!!! Exact same thing happened to me 3 days ago. Only difference is - Mine went from half to empty. Then after I parked and re-started. It went back to half. As stated above, I did put a Techron by Chevron, and filled it with Chevron gas... its working fine - so far.
Anyone knows of a Sale going on somewhere for this, I'd like to buy some Techron and keep it handy...

I was a loyal member of the Mobile gas club until I started having this problem. Read on the FORUM about Techron. All I run now is Chevron and Shell both have Techron addititive in the 93 oct. and I have zero problems.
