I have two LeSabre's. One is an 01 Custom with about 55kmiles and the other an 02 Custom with about 90k miles. I bought both used and outside the factory warranty.

The gas guage in both do not work. I don't know when I first noticed this. My two sons drive them to school and work.

I am told by my mechanic who has worked on all my cars in the past, the problem is either with the guage itself in the dash or more likely in the sending unit in the gas tank. He said the fix could run over $500.00 if he has to pull the tank to put in a new sending unit.

I read on one site to try some gas additive that Chevron makes that supposedly removes the crud on the gauge in the tank that is the lilely the culprit. I have tried this on both vehicles a couple of bottles each to no avail.

So I have been using the trip meter to tell me when to fill up next based on historic MPG. I want to sell one of them, but I am sure most potential buyers will balk at buying a car with a known problem. And I am not going to try to hide it either. A little thing call fraud.......

This is aggravating to say the least. And of course the General knew all about it and won't fix it. Can you say DexCool?

Any ideas anyone?
