Gas Gauge periodically plumits to E, then will slowly return to normal fuel reading
It's not a big deal, just wondering if anyone else has had this problem? It just happens out of the blue, the fuel gauge needle will fall to E, then slowly start coming back up to normal readings. Is my car possessed?

Hmmm... Mine doesn't do that, but sometimes the light will come on dimmly for a couple of minutes and then go off even when there is 1/4 tank or more of gas.

Well my car ran out of gas yesterday...
I was going up a big hill and it just studdered and then ran out of gas! The tank was low but the light never came on...make ya think.(i hope its not broken) But you always think you can go the extra mile. .and trust me one day in your life your just gonna run out. It was funny...AAA came and hooked me up.

well that happens to my oldsmolbile all the time.. i think it's because the fuel sensor is floating in the gas tank next to the pump so when your gas is low or when when going up a hill or on an uneven surface (like my driveway at an angle) the sensor is lower/higher than the average value of gas, so your gauges lie. correct me if i'm wrong but that would explain it.

Actually it doesn't do it anymore. I love this car it fixes itself!!
First was this problem, went away after about 2 weeks, hasn't happened again in about 6 months.
VQ was losing oil, it is not losing oil anymore and it is still staying clean
