I'm led to believe this too. Is it also possible that the gauge is not calibrated correctly? I think that is quite an offset to be true, but it may very well be if the suggestion proves negative with your mechanic.

I had the same issue on my Pathfinder. You either have sludge or debreis in your tank. When I had the issue a friend and I droped the tank a emptied it the best we could. after it cleared up pretty good.
