I had been thinking these last few weeks that my car was burning through gas quicker than usual, when I noticed today my gauge was on empty. But I did not receive a notification of low fuel. While looking at the gauge it went up about two bars then down one. This was while driving and I think my gauge might be malfunctioning because I kept track of my mpg this tank and seems to be on point. Anyone have issues with fuel gauge? And if so how can I fix it?

 

my old balt used to do that quite often

 

mine doesnt work right period. when I fill it up it goes to 3/4. then it drops from there. when it gets near E it gives me the low fuel icon. but I know its not that low.

 

Mine used to do the same. I'd run it empty until it was damn near pointing at 6 o'clock I took it apart and just moved the needle and it works fine now

 

Dang haha I guess im not the only one. But it really makes me feel like my car is bad on gas lol

 

It sometimes reads really inaccurately after i stall the car (not enough throttle).

 

yup mine does some weird stuff at about 2 lines before empty. i just check my mileage. i fill up at about 280, ill even let it go to 300 if i feel adventurous.

 

GM is known for 'not the best' gas gauge indicator

 

I have heard on some newer cars it changes based on your driving, I forgot who told me that, could be wrong but mine does the same thing, did it on my 2007 LTZ Silverado too.

 

Mine works fine, the fuel pump was cracked and leaking fuel for weeks though...
