Okay, I wanted to ask this question here before I bring the car in, to make sure I'm not doing something that's contributing to the problem:
The fuel guage on my '05 Focus has begun to "stick" for lack of a better word around 1/2 a tank. The needle goes down from Full until around 1/2 a tank and from there just sits there as the km click off. Last time the needle jumped backwards to 1/4 full when there was around 20L in the tank, from the look of things now, it looks like it won't even do that til my next fill up. (The guage performs the sweep at startup normally however, which suggests the sending unit is pooched)
I've thrown in high octane gas on the off-chance that I got some bad gas, but at this point I'm thinking this is a job for the dealer to diagnose.
Any comments/suggestions?
