Long story short.. lo and behold.. I had to have someone come save me and bring a gas tank and fill it up because the car was bone dry.

I have done some research and have seen that it is common for the Z's gas gauge to malfunction? Is this something that is covered under a recall?

Would I be fine just taking it to a local mechanic shop to get it fixed or would I have to bring it to a Nissan dealership?

Thanks
