99% your vehicle has a soft failed fuel pump, I have seen MANY of these and have seen your exact same situation.
There could be a fuel level sender problem or a sucking jet pump problem, however, these are highly unlikely.
Forget about testing fuel pressure here for a few reasons. First due to the age of the vehicle/fuel pump and also due to the fact that static pressure at rest or idle is very misleading, you would also need to verify fuel volume as well.
But the simplest test which does not require you do get under the hood or get dirty is watch the fuel levels via the Hidden OBC Menu. Below 1/2 tank the passenger/right side of the tank should always have more fuel than the drivers/left side with the exception of a hard right turn sloshing fuel into the drivers/left side of the tank, but it should quickly be pumped back down by the sucking jet pump.
Replace the fuel pump and your problem will be resolved.
