My fuel gauge has started to wander up and down. Even 5 miles after a full tank it drops to 3 bars then 6 then 4. I just go by resetting the trip A when it's full. I'm going to run the tank down and see what miles it goes to empty. If the display goes out I'll use a dip stick later on. The display can't be cheap or easy to get and would have the same low quality if you bought a new one. You might see if the dealer can get you a new sending unit for it. Might not be too much.
