Description of the problem	On a trip this past weekend, i experienced an alarming situation. I was driving 65 mph on a highway, when the fuel gauge suddenly registered empty after my having filled the tank only 40 miles previously, and the check engine light came on. I immediately exited the highway, stopped, and called the dealership and talked to a mechanic, who said the likely explanation was a faulty fuel sensor. While we were talking, the needle began to rise and fall. When i determined it was not immediately dangerous, i continued my trip. The gauge eventually returned to normal, but the problem reappeared the next time i filled up; again, the gauge eventually began behaving normally, and the check engine light went out. This morning i took the car to the dealership, and they confirmed the faulty fuel sensor. Cost to repair was $612
