Nope, 3/4 of a tank. I just filled up Friday morning and drove from NC to VA and back.

Glad you got it worked out. Last week when I was fighting a drained RCDL. (see Boy Killed the Battery) I checked all my fuses and to my suprise, none were out, but they all needed a little push as none of them were seated completly. Wonder why yours blew?

Not to steal the thread, but yesterday on the way to church my daughter was driving the SS (to get practice for her driving test next month). I told her to turn into the second driveway, but she got confused because there are two driveways together, and we did a little off-roading across the church's front lawn. Luckily no one was around to see it and we didn't hit anything.

I drove to do some errands today with several stops and drove maybe 50 miles and had not a single issue. Maybe it was a fluke? Maybe a bad fuse? maybe it was slightly loose. I checked all my fuses as foolmoon_design said and all of them could be pushed down just a little to be fully seated.

I will keep everyone apprised if it happens again. I had fuses in the car just for an emergency and am glad that I did.

There are two fuel pumps on the direct injected LNF motor, one electric, one mechanical, The complicates diagnosis of fuel delivery problems. Get it to a dealer. Highly unlikely that it's a clogged filter on a relatively new car.

Don't forget 1-800-CHEV USA. You have free roadside assistance for 5 years or 100,000 miles. Your powertrain warranty will also cover looking into this issue. I would take it to your dealership so they can see what is going on.
