Your rig is on the list of one's that have a problem, I waited too long to get the TSB done and they wanted to charge me for it. I just reste my trip odometer after each fill up and keep track of my mileage that way...

Looks like I'll be doing the same reading myself.

You too eh? Mine has acted up from time to time but always reverted back to normal after a day or two. That is, until about 2 weeks ago when it consistently tells me I have over 1/2 tank left even after I have gone ~250 miles (took 17.2 gals to fill that one up )

I have also resorted to reseting and watching the tripmeter, which is something I've already been doing anyways.
