I have been using my moms car because my engine blew in mine she has a 2001 malibu and i think there is something wrong with the gauge. I put half a tank of gas in it and i use it to go to work which is about 2 or 3 miles away and in 1 day the car reads a quater of gas left and i am at the gas station every 2 days

Unless you're actually getting a couple miles to a gallon, it's probably the fuel sending unit (on top of the fuel tank) rather than the gauge dial on the instrument cluster. The fuel level sensor in the sending unit can develop bad spots due to wear or deposit.
