As i drove home one night, the fuel gauge was showing empty when i knew that the tank was half full. This is dangerous for a remote, rural driver who needs to know how much gas is left in the tank. Nothing out of the ordinary was present for this occurrence. After i turned the car off and turned it back on the gauge was back to normal. I will be monitoring closely from here on out.
