I own a "02 Buick Lasabre and today my gas hand didn't know if it wanted to say if I had a 1/4 tank or 3/4 of a tank of gas. I think the prices are even affecting our vehicles.
When I finially put gas in it, it only registered a 1/4 tank. Go figure, my float is probably stuck.
Edited to say: Congrats on the purchase of the Purple People Eater.
