If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there

On my 2007, the fuel gauge drops quickly from full down to just under half, then seams to last forever (I wish), does your's behave similarly - or is it just me ?

As above, i can get about 100mile out of half a tank, and then the 2nd half lasts a good 160-180mile before hitting the red

The needle behavior is not consistent on mine either, but it has a different pattern: it will stay at full level (over the "tank full" line) for about 50-60 km, then drop to about 75% quite quickly, then slowly creep to 50%, then it drops quickly again to about 25-30% of the scale and then again slowly to "empty tank".
Some experienced mechanics told me that over time, the fuel gauge develops a pattern of its own depending on how often you put gas in, how often you top up the tank and so on. Therefore I don't rely much on it, just the light bulb and the "A" odometer which seems to give me exactly ~400 km until the yellow fuel light comes up
