    So my gas gauge has started lying to me recently. I'll be on "e" after I swore I had gas, and then I'll put in $5 worth of gas and suddenly I'm at half a tank? Totally not possible. 2003 GP SE ... Any thoughts on what might be causing this?

    Thanks!

    sending unit in pump... easy fix. depending on miles might be a good idea to get the whole pump replaced...

    Like stated above, it's the fuel pump sending unit. Just replace the entire fuel pump, it's easy to do. The access panel is in the trunk.
