SMH. My only question is at this point, on one of those pics? You have just over or slightly under 3/4 tank and your range says 122 MILES O_o WTF??!?1?!?
I have usually 3 dots above a 1/4 tank or 2 for that matter and have 122 left. When i'm up at 3/4 tank, i have usually 250-300 miles left on the tank...is your car drinking Methanol or Jet fuel for EPA MPG? LOL! Nice car btw, love the build.
Just imaging so far 3k miles and every time the car is over 60/80mph every day. So this is what the ecu calculates or consumption. Here for where i used to go it is very short distance from 5 to 30 min max trip. There is not much room for long trips unless i go to the beach and thats like 100km from my house and if i do that i push it harder like the pic 140-160mph BUT! if i go like a normal person i can raise the MPG from 7.8 which is right now to like 12MPG almost

That is the reason why it show 122. Don't get wrong the ecu is 100% accurate as i want to think it is but thats not the one who drives and shifts. 7 o 15mpg it will be the result of how i use it. Remember that the ecu will change stats but tank capacity will stay as it comes from factory
