Guys, had something strange begin happening with my fuel gauge miles to empty, normally when I fill up it says 415 to 430 miles , on Sunday it went to 538 miles ( i wished ) so I thought maybe a float stuck or something. So I filled up again when it got to a roughly a half a tank and it held 11 gal. Have any of you encountered this what could be wrong ?

The range is based on the last few miles/minutes you've driven; that's why it changes frequently. If it said 500+ miles, you babied it the last 10 minutes...

^^I Agree.

I have a gas station down the hill from me. I RESET my MPG meter and rode down the hill on neutral pretty much & then filled up. Same issue...

your car is smart so it just judges your tank based on previous driving habits.
