But, being that I stuffed the hell out of my car, first light came off at 98.7 and 2nd came off at 150. I sit now at 302.4 with one lite above the half mark.

Interesting. I don't get 100 miles on the first dot. More like 50. Half a tank for me is about 200 miles on the highway. I just filled up an hour ago with 15.6 gallons; 332 miles on the tank & 3 dots lit. I guess my gauge is calibrated a bit differently. It seems pretty linear, other than this one incident a couple weeks ago.
I've dealt with crazy gauges before... I used to have a Solstice GXP. It's gas gauge would stay pegged on F for the first 200 miles, then drift to three quarters by 250, then half by 275, then at any time thereafter it'd just fall to "E" with nothing in between. Crazy.
