Randomly dropping gas gauge
Does anyone elses gas gauge just randomly drop from where it was the last time you drove your truck? This morning i drove to school... 35 miles, right on Full.. 7 hours later, go to leave school, 35 miles, just a hair above 3/4 
and it does this all the time!! I also have a locking gas cap and i highly doubt anyone at my school would be capable of overriding that

Yes my gas gauge does something similar. It seems to move around quite a bit. I really never know where I'm at with gas unless empty or plumb full. I maybe it just reacts slow to hills, filling up, stop and go driving. Any insight would be great.

Mine does the same thing... and each 1/4 of the tank last different amounts of time. Usually the 2nd 1/4 (starting from full) lasts the longest, with the 3rd coming next, then 1st and the last quarter is like 20 miles...

10 miles to the gallon is what i normally get. if my wife drives it is a lot worse. she is used to driving her hyundai, so when she drives my truck it is either all on the gas or the brake. kills the mileage

LOL, drive your wife's car, I just drove my wife's trailblazer tonight, pulled out in traffic, wasn't dangerous, but I floored it to get up to 55 about 1 mile later I was at 55, same scenario with my v-10 about 2500rpm for 3 seconds, haha, that's why I don't do it unless I need it, but I can understand why my wife would love the POWER, let her have fun what's a tankful of gas now and then, LOL
