Gas Gauge Not Even Close to Accurate!

I've searched the threads and can't come up with a solid answer.

Is there anyway to reset your gas gauge? I have an 08 TL-S and after I've filled up and driven like 40 miles the gauge shows a 1/4 of the tank gone! It's ridiculous. Yesterday when I filled up my line was below the "E" and my trip computer said that my range was 0. Well I only put 14.7 gallons of gas in the car and so technically I had room for 2.4 more which also would mean that my range was at least another 50 miles...

Is there anyway to reset this? It's really annoying!

The TL has I think 17.5 gallon capacity. Raason you can only fill up is 14.7 gallons, is so you dont get stranded anywhere without any gas

It IS working correctly. At least it IS working the same way as EVERYONE else's.


MID says 25 miles to go and the light comes on: you have ~4 gallons of gas remaining.

MID says 0 Miles to go: you have ~3 gals of gas remaining.

You fill up when the MID says 0 miles to go: you can only put in ~14 - 14.5 gals

You push the limit and keep driving after the MID says 0 miles to go: you can go ~75 miles until you are stranded.

Try it some time. Your's will be the same as everybody elses.
