The fuel gauge hasn't been doing anything unusual for me. I have been doing just a tiny bit of EOC recently, but pretty much only when I'm coming to the end of my trip. I guess that could be throwing it (miles with no gallons, so to speak). Personally, I wonder wheter it might be the fact that I generally run the tank down fairly low before filling up (replying more on the in-cab display for miles to empty, than the fuel gauge itself). This last time I stretched it a little more than I normally do the last few times. The gauge itself was on E for quite a few miles. That might have thrown it--again, lots of miles with no detectable gallons (according to the fuel gauge).

I'm not really concerned or anything--just amused.
