I see a near full gauge and a half full gauge. What is 7/8? What were time and conditions between fill up and needle drop? Did it do this right after key was turned on?

If there is a fuel gauge problem, I'd consider demanding fixed or a price drop on this French built rental...or just walk away. (There's also a thread mention somewhere here of bad timing chains on French Yarii.)

It was about a mile or two down the road that it dropped to that first line. They won't adjust the price, I've tried based on some other stuff. It does have a few hundred miles left on the comprehensive warranty. Toyota looked at it and said everything was functioning as it should, but to bring it back with half a tank so they can look into it further. And they said they had it noted, so if there is anything wrong past the warranty time, they could honor it.
