Description of the problem | Ran out of gas despite the gauge showing 42 miles left (about 1. 5 gallons). Walked to a station and got a gas can; put a couple of gallons in, started the car, and the meter started dropping dramatically, going from 112 miles remaining to 104 to 98... All the way down to 82 miles remaining before i even started driving. Drove about a quarter mile, and it fell another 3 miles. Don't know yet if the car if the problem is with fuel injection, the gauge, or some issue with the tank itself (air/water leaking in or gas leaking out, etc.). Problem occurred the day after bringing the car into the shop for a separate problem. My car is 6 weeks old, and i have broken down two days in a row just driving to work. |
