This car supposedly has 24 city mpg, 31 highway, and 27 combined. That should get me around 350 miles on a full tank, which is about 13 gallons in size. So obviously, the tank is going down way faster than it should be. Before I had this problem, my gauge would be going down, then randomly going back up, then back down again. Anyone experiencing the same problems? How can I fix this?

Mine was working fine until I took the car in last week to have a mis-firing cylinder fixed. I took a long trip this weekend, and noticed right away that it goes up and down significantly within two or three minutes. I made sure I stopped to fill the tank often enough - but it's most disconcerting. Should I take it back to the place where the cylinder was fixed, and ask them to take a look??? Following your advice given above? Looking under the back seat? Why would that start to happen now?
Many thanks,
