Hey car guys (and girls),

I have a 2001 Civic with a little over 36,000 miles on it. 2 weekends ago I noticed I was near empty so I went to fill up. Well, to my shock it only took about $16.00 to fill up. When it normally takes about $21.00 (Stupid gas prices)

So I figured my gas gage must have been off. Before this I had been parked on a hill for about 2 hours. Front end of the car lower than the back. Could this have caused my gage to be so far off?

I've also noticed while driving that my gas will fluctuate. It will be below half a tank left, then a few miles down the road a little bit more than half a tank left. What could be causing this?

Also, my maintenance required light has been flashing, but I know that normally this doesn't mean anything on the Civic, it's set to go off every now and again apparently

Should I be worried the gas gage? Or is this normal?

Thanks in andvance

Also, is gage spelled "gage" or "guage"

Signed,
Car Idiot
