Either that, or you just invented perpetual motion.

Probably not so much the gauge as it is the fuel level sender in the tank being stuck. Otherwise it's the old joke about the guy who bought a new VW Beetle . . . his friends kept adding gas to his tank at night to "juice" the MPG expectations.

I wish somebody would do that to my Mitsubishi

Most likely the sender unit. Have you tried filling the tank up, the fuel might lubricate the sender arm.

HI
I will full the tank.If the problem is the fuel lever sender,What can I expect to pay to have the problem corrected?Thanks.

The replacing the sender is a DIY job, just need to unplug the old one and remove the big nut that mounts it to the top of the fuel tank. Have a look at Fastlane's prices for the sender.
