Help!!! I was driving on the highway today back home, the weather was rough it was raining and very windy. The vehicle was acting normal, i pulled over to get some gas at a full service gas station. I had the window open on the side that the gas is pumped into the car to pay the attendant. when fueled i turned the car on and began to drive. about a half a block up the road the car turned off on me. I pulled over and cranked the car. it simulated a start however it didn't crank over just kepted on cranking. this is probably a coincidence. now i am very observant with my vehichle, I was on a trip to New York from PA. I take this trip at least twice a week for work, now first thing prior to the problem that i did notice was that the gas level indicated I had wasted almost a half of tank prior to reaching my destination of
100miles, 5 to 10 miles before my destination the needle on the gas gauge increased one eight to a little past the half tank mark. i found this odd. on my way back i monitored the gas gauge carefully hence the reason for a second stop to refuel prior to my arrival back home. I am not sure if the fuel indications today, or the possibility of rain going into my tank have any cause to the problem I am experiencing or maybe its just a coincidence. my car is a Subaru Legacy Wagon 1996 an has a little over 220K, please help. I am a courier, without my car i will not be able to work, please anything that can guide me in the right direction, I don't have money to make unnecessary replacements at this time, i am afraid to be replaced at work without my Car. Please Help thank you Blas- posted
