I had the same problem with my gas gauge, after filling up my gas gauge was going to empty for about 20 to 25 miles. If I fill up too much, the problem comes back. If I stop at the first click the gas gauge works fine.

I was advised by my mechanic that the floater near to the tank is getting stuck if I fill up all the way to the top. To replace the floater you are looking at $115 for the part and $65 for labor. I hope this helps.
