Can't fill up my car all the way...anyone else?
Hello,
Everytime I fill my car up with gas, I get in and the needle never reaches the full line...this is even when I purposely OVERFILL the tank. Is it the mechanism inside the tank, the needle or a government conspiracy to bring me to the gas station more often so they can use a laser to probe into my brain and steal secrets about a 1,000 hp G35 I'll have one day?

Mine too. Just started happening at about 16K miles. Tell me this then...when I drove it yesterday all the way down to under the E line, with the light on for about 60 miles and I went to fill it, it still only took about 18 gallons. Does this mean that I had 2 gallons left, or that it just did not fill up all the way??

After 27 months, mine just started showing those same symptoms. With my last 4 or 5 fill-ups, my needle has only been registering about 2 "ticks" below full. 
I would intentionally try to top it off, and still not show full. I"m thinking sending unit as well. My last 3 cars have had theirs replaced at one time or another.
