Well, fellow Saabers, here's a minor embarrassment:
Thought over the problem and decided that the fuel pump was dead. Called local shop and got a quote for $300 for a new pump. OK, sounds good, so I go and pull out the old pump and - viola!! - the tank looks AWFUL dry! Now the fuel guage was on half and I've never had a problem with a faulty reading in this car. (on a side note, I vaguely remember being overly impressed with the mileage she was getting on this tank).
So I re-installed the old pump, went and got a gallon of gas for $1.85, and I'm back on the road. If the poor AAA guy who towed me from Manassas to Falls Church reads this - I apologize for wasting your Saturday evening. If it's any consolation to you, my girlfriend now thinks I'm an idiot and laughs at me.
Thanks again to everyone who posted and a simple reminder to check ALL the basic, stupid stuff FIRST!
Your humbled scribe,
Chris
