Narrative:

Heading north to 35Q from M52 in a cessna 152, engine started missing and losing power, checked fuel gauges, gauge reading 4 gals in left tank and 6 gals in right tank, started looking for a place to land, saw weiss airport on sectional, found it on the ground and landed. Checked fuel tanks on ground found them lower than what gauges read, according to hours of fuel in tanks I should have had 1.5 hours left but did not. I still don't know what happened as far as where the fuel went, aircraft was filled at (M52) with 100 ll fuel just prior to departure.
