Consumer Description

GAS GAUGE HAS STARTED TO REGISTER MORE GAS THAN ACTUALLY IN TANK AND CHECK GAUGE LIGHT DOES NOT COME ON, CAUSING HIGHWAY BREAK DOWN WHILE GAUGE REGISTERING AMPLE SUPPLY OF GAS. FILLED TANK UP AGAIN THIS WEEK, HAVE TRAVELED APPROXIMATELY 160 MILES AND GAUGE STILL REGISTERING OVER 3/4 TANK FULL. MY CAR AVERAGES 30 MILES TO A GALLON.
