Do you get better gas mileage when tank is full?
Gas Mileage A lighter load does require less gasoline, but the weight of a full fuel tank is not significant. Your car may actually be less efficient when the tank is near-empty, as more air in the tank can increase fuel evaporation.
What to do if your fuel tank is empty?
Some vehicles can experience a failed electrical connection, but that typically makes the entire gauge inoperable. You will likely need to drop the tank and replace the fuel pump altogether. The fuel pump itself may or may not be bad itself, but the pump and float are all part of the same module.
Why is my fuel tank Reading Half Full?

How many miles until empty do I have?
Not wanting to chance it, I stopped at a filling station and put in a gallon and a half, which should have been about 70 miles worth. After I paid for the gas and pulled back onto the highway, the miles-until-empty said 65 miles of fuel left.
