Filled up with gas started the car headed down the road and the gas gauge dropped down the e and showed low fuel. Then a few minutes later the gauge went back up the f. Now the gauge goes up and down all the time. The only way for me know how much gas i have is to look at the read out on display. I have to keep track of how many miles i'm driving in order to make sure i don't run out of gas. *tr
