Volks,

I have a weird fuel gauge, and want to see if this is normal, or if it can be fixed without fooling with float, etc.

Well, when I fill up, it goes past full a hair or two........I get 150 miles on the first half of a tank, and am in the upper edge of the red reserve zone 50-60 miles later...when I get gas, it is around 12 gallons, meaning that that there is around 4 gallons left. 

Is this gauge acting normal?
