I have owned several fords and they all did the same thing. When filling the needle goes way passed full then after a long while the needle finally moves to F then bang 1/2 then in a reasonable amount of time it hits 1/4 tank. like you heard before do not go by the guage fill er up and check your miles per gallon the accurate way. Remeber if you race, smoke the tires, launch hard at lights, (you know use the car the way Ford intended), idle a lot your #s will be incorrect. Good luck
