I don't think i'm loosing fuel as this vehicle is getting good mileage (for a Jeep)

I've noticed the same sort of fuel gauge problem on my Jeep. Mine tends reads about a gallon higher then it should as well. I've been wondering if it's a sticky/faulty fuel sender unit.

Props to your 20mpg. Is that all highway? I've been pushing 16mpg in town, waiting to see on the next tank what I get for highway.
