fuel gauge and consumption

[bmw ponyman]

My 2003 V6 Auto seems to be using more gas than usual.
The fuel gauge goes from full to almost the 3/4 mark after one 28 mile trip.
The fuel gauge also seems to be sticking during the hot and cold weather.
Does anyone else have this problem?

Thanks

Mine usually hits the 3/4 mark at about 50-75 miles depending on how I'm driving. I've made it to 100 on one occasion...but not very often. How many miles do you have and have you kept up general maintenance?

if it is noticably, i'd make sure i had done a few things:

clean/replace air filter
run fuel injector cleaner
replace fuel filter
good spark plugs/wires?

all maintinence up to par?
