When I fill my tank up with gas the rate at which the fuel gauge goes down from full to half is quite faster than from half to empty. Has anyone else noticed this or do I have a problem.l

All the fuel gauges in all my vehicles over the years have had their own "personality" lets call it. If full is full and empty is empty, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you know your own trucks personality, I think it's fine.

I had an 87 Chevy Fullsize that got 150 miles to the 1/2 tank and 50 miles from 1/2 to empty. Just always be on top of filling it up. RF

Australian Luv's are opposite, because they are below the equator. I'm looking to get an Australian gas tank, and double my gas mileage. :lol:
No, you don't have a problem.
