Sonata Gas Gauge
 

Has anyone had their gas gauge on their 2006 Sonata stick? Mine just did
today at one half full... or empty...... I guess a trip to Hyundai is in
my future. :o(

Not as dramatically as you, but I did have a funny reading just a couple
of weeks ago. I got to work and the gauge read just below 1/2 tank.
When I left work that night, the gauge read about 5/8ths tank and
dropped normally in the trip home ending up at about the 9/16ths mark.
Then the next morning it was closer to the 3/8ths mark which is where it
should have been given the original reading of a little below 1/2 tank.
It had never done this before and hasn't done it since.

Thanks, Matt.
I filled it up but it stayed at half tank. As luck would have it, we leave
tomorrow morning on a road trip!!! I guess I'll look up a dealer when we
get to our destination. I wonder if they'll charge me the usual 'shop
supplies', what ever they are. :o) They always find a way to beat the
system, like hiding the actual markup between MSRP and Invoice pricing.
