I had the same issue yesterday when I filled up my 2007 CV LX. The gauge showed empty and the computer also said I was empty even with 16 gallons in the tank.

Here is what I did to fix the problem:

1) Shut off the car, leave in park with the keys out of the ignition.

2) Disconnect the battery. I un-did both the positive and negative terminals.

3) Let the car sit with the battery disconnected for 5 minutes or so.

4) Reconnect the battery.

5) Turn the car back on and it should work again.

I don't have an answer as to why the gauge stopped working but it also happened at the same time my oil light reminder came on due to low oil life (5%).

Hope this helps. Definitely worth a shot instead of going to a mechanic and paying $$ for possibly a simple fix.
