Strawfordt,
Once again I have the same problem going on. My fuel gauge will read just under 2/4 after a fill-up. It will go to 4/4 once in a while. Once the fuel level drops past the stuck position of the gauge needle the needle follows the tank level. Right now I just fill-up after about 250 miles and it only takes about 10 gallons.
Once or twice I have been able to get the guage to read correctly by just turning the key on and off several times.
It's annoying as RandallNeighbour has posted. I also have never had a fuel gauge problem with any vehicle I've ever owned.
I'll get it fixed eventually but it's not at the top of the 'things to fix' list for my '99. The list is quite long so I put this near the bottom.
Sorry I have no solution but I feel your pain- along with Randall's pain.

Regards,

derb
