My gauge goes to 3 quarters after driving 25 miles, and shows dead at 150 miles, and I can keep on driving until 250 miles, when it will show with some accuracy somewhere south of a quarter tank.

i'm aware of the pessimistic qualities (showing empty when there 4.5 galllons left), but now it'll show empty even earlier -- 3-4 gallons earlier. my dummy warning light will still come on like normal (all but one time when it came on when i had 14 gallons left).
that said, should i try disconnecting my battery overnight to reset the CPU? is it a float problem in the tank itself?
am i just clutching at straws?
any thoughts would be great.
