Description of the problem	I have had very similar issues to the gentleman whose nhtsa # is 11161972. On three occasions when i was driving on the highway at approximately 70 miles an hour and usually going up and incline, my engine would sputter and the car would die. All three times my car screen showed that i had between 60 and 80 miles left in my tank and my fuel gauge which show two clicks to the right of empty. The first time i thought it could be due to the fact that i needed gas in my car . At that point i contacted aaa and they brought me 2 gallons of gas to get me to the next exit to so that i can fill my tank. The second time i had moved over to the emergency lane as my car was dying. I had waited about 10 minutes while i was waiting on aaa again to show up when i decided to start my car and the engine started. I was literally 2/10 of a mile from the gas station so i headed in that direction to fill my tank. The third time as i was inclining on a hill in the fast lane, the engine suddenly died as i was driving about 70 miles an hour. Fortunately i thought fast and hit the emergency flashers as i had a semi right behind my car. This time i moved over into the left side emergency lane and waited about 10 minutes and my car started again. This seems to always happen when the car is showing between 60 and 90 miles of gas left in my tank and always with two clicks on the full gage. I am not sure as to why this is happening and have taken it to my subaru dealership and they are unaware of any problems yet we
