I have a slight little problem with my gas gauge, I filled the gas tank up to the max and reset the trip meter and travelled about 30km.....then my gauge was reading that a 1/4 tank was already missing :blink: ...... I pretty much flipped. So I found the next gas station and refilled for a grand total of $1.00...... After I got back in the gauge read slightly above a 1/4 tank but not at full as it should be reading....... Is this something I should take to Ford or should I retry reseting my ECU first? My Xcal 2 shouldnt have anything to do with this should it?

Sounds like your fuel guage sending unit is going south, mine did just recently and started doing bizzare stuff like that. At one point the damn thing went from empty and the angry red light to 1/4 all while sitting at a stoplight <_<
Any acceleration/hesitation issues? Your fuel pump may also be going south if that's the case.
If your car is under warranty and they have the parts in stock, easy fix, just make sure to run the car as close to empty as you can before you bring it in for them to work on it.
