So yesturday i had about 26 miles left of fuel range according to my computer in the nav/ info unit....i put around 10 dollars in gas because i had no cash or my car on me...i got back in the car the needle went to were its supposed to but my gas range didnt change on the computer....so later i gassed up to full tank and it said i only had about 3XX miles in range rather then about 400 when i tank up all other times any idea on what goin on or how to fix this??? anything would be appreciated thanks guys

Don't stress!
This happens to me too. It took me a few times to figure it out, but after a fillup the computer resets itself you know? Well, it uses your last A-MPG reading to determine how far you approx be able to drive with that full tank. When you just put the 10 dollars in, it should've reset itself, and being that you only put ten dollars in, I'm guessing maybe you only did city driving (mainly) causing a lower MPG. So when you filled up just recentley this low MPG made the computer think that was your typical MPG therefore calculating the 3XX distance range. After driving on the highway a little bit though, your MPG will rise, and the 'distance till empty' will rise with it accordingly.....make sense???
I'm not the best at explanations, but I try. lol
