Question Fuel sending unit/ pump question

Either my car suddenly got OUSTANDING hybrid-like gas mileage *wishful thinking* or my fuel sending unit has gone out! I filled up an hour out of town before coming back, and I noticed the needle shot about 1/8 inch beyond the "F" mark! Then after driving 64 miles back home, the needle only moved a little below the "F", and now 108 miles later, I "still have" over 3/4 a tank left
My question is if it is advised or recommended I change the fuel pump/ strainer at the same time as the sending unit? The pump's fine, I have perfect fuel delivery. Should I spend a couple hundred bucks for the whole package, and while I have the tank pulled out, kill 2 birds with one stone, or save the money? I'd hate for the pump to go out next in a few months and then have to make another trip underneath that huge fuel tank! Thanks for the tips!

Wink Re: Fuel sending unit/ pump question

My advice would be, like my Hispanic friends in Texas use to say, "Don’t worry about it"!
MY PA will go above full when I fill the tank up to the neck, and will stay above ¾ for about 150 miles. After it gets to that point, it seems to move down faster. It still is getting 18-20 mpg around town, no matter what the gauge reads. Don't spend money unless you have to!
