Are you absolutely sure the code is P0461 - not P0460 or P0463?

There is a TSB (08-2-9) for DTCs P0460 or P0463 and a erratic fuel gauge.

ERRATIC FUEL GAUGE OPERATION - MIL ON - DTCS P0460/P0463 OR INSTRUMENT CLUSTER MODULE DTC B1201 - VEHICLES BUILT BEFORE 12/3/2007

That's a fuel level sensor fault. Makes sense if the tank is full and the gauge only shows 1/2 tank. It is NOT necessarily the sensor itself, it can be anything in the circuit.
