    there really isnt anything you can do to fix it man. i messed up my gas gauge like a year and a half ago and its still messed up. what i did was i ran my car till the gas light came on and then ran it some more till i thought it was on empty. then i put the needle on empty and went to fill up. it doesnt read the gas right but it gives me an idea of how much gas i have left. sorry man.

    i had the same problem and when i needed or almost ran out of gas, my needle would be on the half mark. u can try to get it recalibrated @ the dealer, but its gonna cost $.

    easiest solution here would be to just get a new guage cluster imo.

    if you get a new gauge cluster, your mileage will be out of wack.

    With a new cluster you can swap the odometer from you old gauges into the new one.

    It's only one screw to swap it.
