    Nope, just the way that GM designed the Fuel Sender... You'll get used to it... and the weird v-shaped gas tank that reads 1/2 full but only has 1/4 left :D

          Yah it has to do with the way it is designed. Just fill the tank up when it is reading half a tank.

            That is exactly how mine is, and when you hit the last empty line my car still has about 3 gallons of gas in it.
