2001 cavalier fuel gauge reading below empty

there was a blow fuse for the radio. I replaced it

there are no codes on the car

car has 124,000 miles

i have only had the car 3 days but it was fine and then all of a sudden this happeded
 
When you say that the fuel gauge is reading below the E mark, I would think that would be a be a ground problem. Was the fuse for the radio blown or did it blow after you got it? I would think that you have a wire or wires rubbing together. Start with the radio and or speaker wires.
 
1. What does temperature gauge not performing properly mean? Is is not reading at all? Is it reading too high? Need more details.
2. Assuming you have more than a quarter tank of gas, the fuel gauge could be another blown fuse, a bad gauge, a bad sender in the tank, or the wire going to the tank sender grounding out which would than probably blow a fuse.
