| After filling engine to full, under normal driving conditions, fuel sensor dropped all the way down to empty and the low fuel light came on. later, it came back up but level doesn't reflect what it should be. i have resorted to resetting my trip odometer and filling up when it nears 300 miles so i know i won't be stranded without fuel. this has occurred on numerous occasions in the last two months. | |||
