I have a 2000 Chevy Blazer 4WD with approximately 61K miles. Within the past few weeks whenever I start up, the fuel gauge jumps up to full and then proceeds to bounce around erratically. I have been watching the gauge and it never seems to fall below 1/2 tank even though based on my mileage I should be on Empty. What is wrong and how can I fix it?

You need to check the fuel gauge sensor. there may be a short in the fuel line sensor which tells the gauge how much gas you have in the tank. try that and let me know.
