All guages work, except the fuel guage, warning light comes on when 1 1/2 gallons or so are left, and so does the second warning light. Yet the fuel level is always at full, any idea whats wrong?
 
Did you put in aftermarket indiglo gauges? if so, the corner of them usually gets the needle stuck all the time. Trim the top left hand corner and wait till that light turns on again. Push the needle to the bottom and fill her up.

If you didn't put in aftermarket gauges, I suggest you find a cluster and take out that gas gauge to put in yours.

Previous owner did indiglo so i'm guessing that that is it, thanks i'll try it (haven't even gotten the car yet was just making sure that it was nothing serious)

Or your fuel sender is bad (or twisted) inside the tank. PM me for test info if you suspect this.
