Wow, just fixed my gas gauge AND the leak I had preventing me from filling it up all the way--Thanks for the validation of that as the #1 job I had to do. It really didn't take much, car was off the road all of 24 hours or so. Of course, it only showed another problem I had I didn't know about. Whenever I fill the car up all the way, in the middle of the day the gas begins to come out of the filler neck from somewhere up high. It drips down the side of the car and stains the drive until I take the gas cap off and then the excess pours onto the ground. I replaced the gas cap and it didn't help a fig. My car is a daily driver regardless of weather, and it too has the best heater around. Unfortunately for the summer months, the heater is ALWAYS a little on at my feet regardless of what I do with the heater controls. No big deal right around this time of year, but it makes days that should be prime driving around days uncomfortable and the days that I figure for uncomfortable downright unbearable.
