Does anyone's else's Marauder's gas gauge drop when the car is started? I went out today and it showed 1/2 tank. But after I started it, it dropped to 1/4 and stayed there.

Mine does it on occasion.
Nothing to worry about.

I guess your car is just THAT bad on gas...
Your driveway on a slight slope? Mine is and the gas gauge does move on startup depending on how the car is parked.

Driveway level...I've had cars in the past that have had floating gauges, I've even seen some floating caps...:rolleyes:...but usually not 1/4 tank floating...

The gas gauges on these cars have always been kinda funny... the don't move for the first 100+ miles and then they drop like a rock. I have always gone off of the trip odometer.

Not mine. Accurate to the last drop.
