Gas gauges dont match

[BinningM5]

Filled car with 19.5 gallons and the analog gas needle is full but the led digital colored bar under the speedo only shows 3/4 an is making the range till empty reflect 3/4 full. Has any one delt with this and what was the fix, thanks guys

Yup mine does that too. Noticed today I was a little under full on my gas gauge needle but the digital colored bar was still showing full. Does the opposite sometimes too

The range on the bottom doesn't always match the fuel tank level. It all depends on your MPG and gas quantity.

Example, my tank is full but my range is 500 because I had just did a few hundred cross county miles.

The max range on the bottom of the rev gauge is 400 miles

Yeah I looked it up. The bar measures based on your driving habits, city, highway etc... so that bar loads to a certain point depending on conditions and how your driving. That is how it’s determining your range. Completely irrelevant to the gas gauge.

But when i use to fill up the tank the needle gas gauge goes full an the bar gauge would go full an say a range of like 490. Now the needle gauge is full an the bar hauge will only go 3/4 And will show empty when i still have a few mm over the 1/4 mark on the needle gauge

That sounds about right. It all depends on you driving style. Whats your current MPG? that the computer is showing? For my daily driving I get about 300 miles of range with a full tank of gas (I think its like 16/18 MPG). and it will drop faster if I do a few hard pulls here and there.

Mine was the same. I went for a longer 200 mile mostly highway drive yesterday and when I filled up today I noticed the led digital bar goes all the way now.

You can coding the max range on the bottom of the rev. I coded mine to 800km (about 500 miles)

Okay maybe its fine, im just use to it matching the gas gauge, i use to do freeway but now im primarily driving around town
