You seem shocked? Have been driving a lot or sitting a lot? I have gone through 1/2 a tank in one day running errands...it's a V8..what do you expect? Not trying to be rude, sorry if I come off as that..

"Tank", i only drove maybe 2 hours off and on though. I've been asking, "should i change my fuel pump driver module". Will that help cause I live 2 miles from DT New Orleans and there's no sand or salt but goof possibility of moisture.

Quarter tank is normal. Now slap some heavy *** tires on it and pull an enclosed trailer around. You might just lose your mind.

Sounds normal. Fill it up, reset or odometer, and refill after a few days and calculate your millage.

yup! IDK about yours but my gas gauge is a bit finicky... ON friday night my gauge said half a tank. I drove 15 miles to DT Nashville, picked up my mom to take her to dinner (another 5 miles). went to dinner and took her back home. The wife and I went out drinking and upon getting home at 1 am I noticed my gas gauge said 1/4 tank--- which is roughly where it shoulda been. Now here's the "finicky" part, Saturday morning, I got up to go get McDonalds breakfast and my gauge is back at half a tank........
