I'm not sure how the car computes range. I feel sure that tank level and consumption rate (injectors?) are used but don't know about speed. I'm not even sure how the car determines speed. Does it look at just one wheel (if so, which one?) or does it integrate all four? Info may be in FSM but I'm too lazy to look right now.
Exactly what symptoms are you lumping under "crazy"? The range will change depending on how you are driving the car. Drive harder and the range will drop; drive easy and the range will go up.
As I mentioned earlier, it should be easy to bolt some sheet metal deflectors onto the flange to direct flow away from vital parts.
