If it takes 30.00 to top off the gas tank, but the gas gauge shows full on an 85 F150 4.9 Straight 6, it is likely that the gauge is not reading correctly. Replacing the gauge cable can remedy this.

Why does my 1996 Sunfire heater deliver cold air on cold days?

Check your temperature gauge. If it shows the engine is running in the normal range then there could be a problem with the "air door" that controls how much air is brought in through the heater core. Or the core itself is plugged and needs to be flushed out. If the guage shows the engine is running cold , then you should have the thermostat replaced.
