Fuel Gauge Stuck on Full?

Has anyone experienced this issue before? I've driven 120 miles from my last fill up and the needle is still stuck on "F". There is no way this is accurate. In addition, my range is showing as 550 miles.

Looks like you got the special edition hybrid that has infinite MPG. Congrats!




Sorry I don't know what the actual problem is

Mine does to I think. At first the needle doesn't move very much, but then it starts dropping down more rapidly. Is it stuck exactly on F or a tick or two down below it? I currently have 60miles right now since fill up, and mine is about 1 tick under Full.

OP drove 120 miles though. That is not normal. Yes the fuel gauge is very happy when it's above half... that's quite normal in today's cars. But after 120 miles and it's still on or above full... there might be an issue.

I think the trip meter that I use to track my gas mileage must have reset itself...either that or I got 40+ MPG I filled my tank up Sunday (4/19) and filled up Friday (4/24) with 4.8 gallons (207 miles). I replaced my battery on Tuesday so I wonder if it zero'd out my trip meter...or I could have accidentally reset it myself.

I'd refill and see if it stays that way.
If it stays consistent check with ODB sensor or get to the mechanic.
