Would anyone know why the fuel gauge on a 1997 Plymouth Breeze seems to drop slow and steady over short distances When coming to a stop the fuel gauge will go from a half tank to three quarters tank?

Fuel gauges operate using a float and sensor. The float literally floats on top of the fuel. The sensor detects the position of the float. If the fuel level is high, the float stays relatively near the top. Once the fuel level starts to go down the float drops. When you push on the brakes, the fuel moves around in the tank, the way liquids do. The result is that the float moves to the top of the fuel and the gauge points to a corresponding position. Certainly there can be more accurate and reliable methods of determining fuel level. But you just need to recognize that the gauge is only reliable when the car is going straight, level and constant speed. The 'better' fuel gauge would cost many times more than the one that's in your car right now, and it wouldn't necessarily be more reliable, all it would do is stop the gauge from moving around when you take a corner or step on the brakes. What you have works. It's a relatively reliable technology.

What did the pilgrims anchor the mayflower with?
The Mayflower utilised a traditional stock anchor. It is the belief of anyone who has worked in Plymouth Massachusetts, as I have at the Marine Railway, that the Mayflower probably didn't need to anchor as she was aground in the shallow mud that Plymouth is famous for.
