I drive for about 70 miles and it's still above Full. Then it starts to go down after lots of city driving.

that's how it always was for me at least.

i dunno if anything is wrong or not, all of a sudden over the last few weeks my gas needle has started to move at like 20 miles... It used to not move until atleast 60 miles..... I think the gas companys switching to winter blend MIGHT have something to do with it?

How fast your needle moves from F depends on weather or not the attendant topped off your tank (and how much) after the automatic stop on the fuel filler nozzel tripped.

From my experience, it's typical to go 40-60 miles on "FULL" before the needle starts to move. It's nothing to worry about, I can assure you.

Now, if you hit 100 miles on the trip meter and the needle STILL hasn't moved, then something is wrong!
