Full tank but displaying low miles
Hello all,
i have an 05 RL. Has anyone experience this problem while on a full tank, the display reads less than 200 miles distance to empty. Doesn't feel like a fuel pump problem. The car starts with no problem and does not shudder.
any help or suggestions welcome. TIA!

The fuel gauge shows full and is working properly? Maybe it the range is just showing a projected range based on past MPG.

Also keep in mind if you live in a climate where you are warming up your car before you drive off, you are averaging in a lot of 0 MPG into the overall average.

This sounds like the likely culprit. OP - make sure you reset your trip computer when you refill your tank. Your range or miles to empty will then default to a value and then adjust based on your driving on this new tank. Some of the newer Acuras have a setting in the MID to automatically do this for you when you refill.

during the pandemic. Should the MPG dropped so much though?
