Recently I filled up my 2016 with gas and reset the trip meter and from start and from reset screens as I normally do. I noticed something was odd when I ran up almost 250 miles before the first bar dropped off the fuel gauge. The first bar always lasts longer than the rest of the bars, but when I left for work yesterday I still had 2 bars left and 302 miles ran up since I had filled up the car. That was really strange.
On my way to work it got even stranger. With two bars still showing the car started beeping at me and the low fuel warning popped up on the screen, but instead of showing that I had 1.3 gallons of fuel left as it normally does when the low fuel warning goes off it said I had .8 gallons left.
This is something I have never seen before and I was wondering if anyone had come across something similar. A search for fuel gauge issues on SCOA returned a bunch of posts about the gas tank (I had mine replaced a couple of years ago) but I didn't find anything similar to what I experienced. Could the fuel level sensor be going out on me?
