    Zero miles to empty--What?

    Thought there was 1/2 tank. Did someone steal my gas? I wondered if parking on a hill was the issue. Even if I was empty, I was going to run out because the nearest station was 10 miles away. Then I checked the trip meter. I had only used 14.5 gallons. Between thinking I can always call triple A, I kept thinking it must have been that hill. The gauge crept up over the next 20 minutes to just under a half.

    Shouldn't be the hill I park on inclines all the time and have never had an issue. I'd have the dealer take a look since its still under warranty.

    Rhino,

    I thought it was weird too. The driveway was steep...maybe 20 or 30 degrees and I backed in. I just can't think of another reason. I think I will google it right now...Yep! Other people are reporting the same thing. I still wonder why. It took over 15 minutes for the gauge to go back to normal too??????

    ----------

    Where is the common sense guy when you want him?

    Serious? I've never had that issue before. I guess the hills I park in aren't steep enough lol.

    Maybe but I run it down to under a 1/4 left before I fill it again and still no issues.
