For the past 2 weeks my fuel gauge has been inconsistent at best and usuall=
y just plain off most of the time.  When I fill up the tank, sometimes it w=
ill only show a little above 3/4 full.  When I start out w/full tank, I can=
 only get about 225 miles on the trip odometer before I am deep into reserv=
e=2E  With my old VW's I would just replace the in-tank fuel pump/float mec=
hanism.  Don't our cars have a fuel level sensor somewhere other than in th=
e tank?  BTW, per Jimmy Pribble's log of his car:  it was a major PITA to f=
inally (I assume) fix his problem fuel gauge.  They replaced the sending un=
it 2 or 3 times, circuit boards (once or twice), whole cluster, etc. Any id=
eas before I head to the dealer?

Thanks,
