Reported at 5,000 miles, April 2004

My gas gauge shows incorrect readings, I have to go by gallons of gas I put in to car to determine miles I can drive. When I start the car gauge shows one reading a few blocks later it shows another. My car stopped some weeks ago on busy street when gauge showed a 1/4 of a tank on the gauge, I had to call roadside service to get home.
