It's been four days now, so who knows. Not sure if this helps or not.

As stupid as it might sound, make sure you filler cap is on well/correctly...I had a Z a couple of years ago that seemed very sensitive to this...apparently, modern fuel tanks are designed to maintain a certain amount of pressure and if the fuel filler cap isn't one properly, the pressure can't be maintained and you'll get the ubiquitous "check engine" light.
As to the fuel gauge question, mine lights up all the way if I fill up the tank all the way - of course, it might work well for me because I'm pretty anal about getting every possible drop in that the tank will hold - you never know when that last half-ounce will be the difference between rolling into the next filling station under power or having to push the car to the pump!
