Was a little perplexed when I last filled up my 2002 Jetta TDI. The gauge showed the tank was 1/4 full, yet the tank took 13.75 gallons of fuel (14.5 gal tank). At first we thought it was the pump at the station not working properly. Then I drove the car for over 150 miles and the needle on the gauge did not move. Then all of a sudden it dropped. It fluctuated like this for several days. I will fill it again tonight as I am at about 600 miles on this tank and it is showing the tank to be 1/4 full again. If I'm getting the same mileage as when I got the car a month and a half ago, the gauge seems to be a 1/4 of a tank off. Anyone else experience this? I'm annoyed because like I said, I've only had the car a month and a half AND if I hadn't decided to fill it at 1/4 full last time, I may have run out of fuel on the interstate.
