Yesterday filled my gas tank. When I started the vehicle, the digital fuel gauge didn’t go all the way to the top to full. I thought I had prematurely stopped. When I tried to put more gas in, it definitely was full.
I drove around the block and it stayed about an eighth of a tank below full. As I pulled into the driveway after about 5 miles, the digital gas gauge moved to the full position, and then tells me that at the full tank I would get 215 miles when normally it reads about 280.
I drove to work and back this morning, about 15 miles. When I got home, the gas gauge has not budged from full and says I have est 199 miles left in the tank.
I disconnected the battery to see if it might reset. It did reset the gas mileage estimate. Going to drive tomorrow and see if the gas gauge will move.
Anybody have a problem like this before? Maybe a fuel level sensor needs to be replaced? Looked at?
