[/quote] Same here, always sunoco… Also as what most others have said my gauge never goes to full, usually only about 3/4. POS subaru, this is so far my only real complaint other than my botched 30K maintenance that f’d my rear diff, but that was not manufacturer. Can you buy a new floater (if thats what they use anymore)?? ---

Mobil gas has high sulfur content and it screws with the fuel level sensors in most cars. It’s not a Subaru specific issue. Winter gas in general can make your fuel level sensor read funny. My wife’s Honda and my old Legacy are both doing it a bit. Chances are these issues will disappear soon. ---
