For the past 5 months, my Honda CRV fuel inidcator light intermittently
comes on. After a trip, the light goes off. It has had 6 computer analysis
tests and no one found anything . The other day it almost stalled out
because it did not seem to get the proper gas. I cannot afford anymore tests.
The cars has 72,000 miles and I do not put alot of miles during the week.
Maybe 150 miles a week. Also, it first started fish biting like it got some
bad gas5 months ago. Does anyone know what the problem is?

Be more specific. Is this particular light the
"LOW FUEL" light that is inside the gas gauge,
or is it the "CHECK ENGINE" light?

Fairly important distinction here, you know.

Then the mechanic needs to use his OBD-II scanner to read the numeric error
code that is now stored in the engine's computer.

If you are in the US, some chain stores (AutoZone comes to mind) will read
this code for you for free.

Thanks for the tip. I will do that today. It is frustrating when you keep
taking to places and no one can find out what is wrong with it.
