    Don't forget this is regularly calculated based on driving style. A FULL tank CAN range from 550 miles to 150 depending whether you are grannying it or thrashing it...

    Or is your problem different to the above???

        I recently had strange thinks happening with my fule comp, it was showing less than it should have been and showing E when it still had 1/4 tank.
        I finally fixed it by removing the the plug of the back and cleaning it with contact cleaner, All's well now

            That would be a good first port of call. It is easy to take the cluster out and clean the contacts.

            If you don't know how, do a search on bulb replacement, the instructions to remove the instrument cluster are fairly common...
