okay, sorry for any confusion.. i'll try to clear things up a bit and give a play-by-play

I fill my gas tank up and reset the trip meter.. usually it takes like 13 gallons because i like to fill it when the needle is on or near E

I drive the car for awhile, anticipating the needle to hit the halfway mark right about the same time the trip meter reads 150. No problem. Then, the needle gets down to about the quarter-tank mark. My trip meter shows 200 miles and the fuel warning light comes on.

So even if I have been running the engine a little high and using a little more fuel than normal, I know that I've still got plenty of gas. However the fuel warning light is still on. I can't understand it. Sith, you said that there were two different sensors?

When the fuel light is on and I'm still a little bit above 'E' I can fit about 12, maybe 13 gallons into the tank. So my guess is that the sensor which is hooked up to the fuel warning light has got something a little funky going on.

Any ideas on how to fix it/clean it off?
