that's been pretty much my experience. seems that most vehicle gas gauges like to sit at full for 100 miles, then drop like a rock. i believe this is done on purpose. people will notice how far they go before the gauge starts to move. if it goes a long distance, it makes them feel they are getting good mileage.

an exception to this is my daughter's saturn wagon. the gauge drops quickly off full, then slows.
