Default Gas Gauge needle problem


Is there a way to adjust the gas gauge needle. I believe mine is not working properly. I fill my tank up and it points to the full position, I drive a couple of miles and I notice it goes up and down a lot. Sometimes it point to the 3/4 position after driving only for a few miles. The other day I noticed I had a 1/2 tank and after a 95 miles trip the tank was almost empty. I know there is no way half a tank would give me only 95 miles after a complete tune-up

Perhaps there's something wrong with your float in your gas tank..

It's not just normal fluctuation due to acceleration, braking, turning and driving on hills?

How hard is it to check the float or the sending unit,? I have never come across something like this before.
