Is this something to worry about, or is it just the computer programing itself i guess cuz it's it 1st tank of gas?
Nothing to worry about. The computer calculates how much fuel you have left with how the car is being driven. So in the highway driving at a stable 70mph at say...3k rpm, it will say something different to when driving in town with shifting, accelerating and braking. I pretty much says something like this, "hey buddy, if you keep driving like this, your tank will last "THIS" long". Catch my drift?
