Fuel Gauge Questions!
Here is the problem,
Before I went back to Asia, gas prices were still around 4 dollars,
I went back for about a month and half and the gas prices dropped to like 2 dollars.
When i got back I filled my tank up for the first time, i heard the nozzle click and took it out i was at 16.5 gallons and i thought it was ok since i wasnt totally empty, but when i started the car my fuel gauge wouldnt go all the way up pass the F line which it always does before i went back to Asia. so I figure, this happens once in a while.
But No, this happened the 2nd the 3rd and the 4th time and till today I filled up again i filled up all the way and i tried adding a lil more to see if its the reason, but it still stops at the F line but not pass it. Sometimes it will be even below the F line by a little bit.
Does anyone one else have this problem? Or I should call the dealership and ask?
According to Blackjack he said it might be the temperature that its colder now, but I live in California and the temperature didnt change that much.
Please HELP!!
THANKS!!

Hmmmm, I'm not sure with our cars, but I know with other cars, you need to start it up for a little bit so you don't get fuel build up since the car just sits there with the fuel inside that just sits as well.

my thought was temp as I've seen this once on my car and the only time I saw this it was in the mid-teens.
Dunno though. I think it could also be the pump handles must really suck and clicking off before it should.
