The car runs great. The only problem I have is the exhaust noise it makes while I drive and the fuel gauge is always wrong. I fill up the tank and it stays full for a while. After 4 days of driving back and forth to and from work it goes down to half and stays there even after a full week. Not only that, when the car is being driven, the fuel gauge spikes up. When it's in park, the gauge slowly drops. I never know how much gas I truly have.

The noise? Could it be the catalytic converter or exhaust leak?

The Fuel Gauge? What can be done about it?

The fuel gauge concern is probably from a bad fuel level sensor in the tank.
