My 1998 envoy had thie same issue (which I bought new) as the used 2000 GMC diamond edition Jimmy I bought to replace it after I was t-boned in Aug 2009. . . Fuel gauge is totally faulty and I have to reset the tripometer every time I fill up or will run out of gas due to false readings. As a single mommy with two kids I am scared of the idea of getting stuck on a dark highway headed in or out of town because of this. If the tripometer ever goes I will be at a loss. The key sticks in ignition and I have to turn the vehicle of and on sometimes 30 or 40 times while others only twice or so. . . With hundreds of complaints posted on the web. . . )and that is only at first glance) I have seen with these known issues I do not know what to do.
