I had 336 miles to go on my tank and just topped up. It now reads 328 after I put in $10.00 worth! All the stations here in WV are running out of gas and there is a run. My $10.00 didn't get me much at $3.09 per gallon! Maybe I overfilled it? Anyone have any idea why the computer acted like this? I usually read about 400-410 after a fill up. I am getting about 20 mpg (computer) and 18.4 mpg (Actual) and 18.4 comes out to a lot more than 289! I have actually driven right at 400 miles to see if I could. It has always worked well until today. Usually when you drive a little bit it readjusts but today I drove home and it stayed lower than when I put in more gas. Oh, well maybe it will change when I go to work in the morning. At least I have the gas gauge to fall back on. Is there a way to reset the thing so it will take another reading or is this a “take it to the dealer” thing? Thanks!

bump, I dont know the answer to your problem, but gas stations here in VA are running out of gas too. All the regular pumps were closed next to my work. They got refilled last night and raised the regular price to 2.79.

you guys still have it better than up here, some places were charging upwards of 1.10$/litre.

2.79 here at 7pm, 299 at 9. I filled up 15 gallons worth of 'lawn mower' gas cans and filled up all our cars. Thats all im saying for now, dont want this to turn into a gas price thread, hahaha, we have more than enough of those. I would think disconnecting the negative battery cable for 15 minutes would reset everything and then it would read right.
