So I kinda think my fuel level is off. When the gauge gets to the last line think the 5th line it's a full red section left. When I scroll to see roughly about how many miles to E it says like 2 miles left. Needless to say I kept driving and the gauge was going down normally but the miles to empty was showing 0 for like an hour after driving still for about 20miles. I deciding to get gas when the gauge was almost all the down. Any ideas?

I think this is normal. 0 should be a good 30-40 miles of driving left. I watched a video on exactly this, it was an F150 but he got about 50 miles of driving after it read O miles to empty. He brought a 5 gallon gas can with him, so this was an intentional experiment.

Appreciate it, I just don't remember my 17 being like that. So all in all should just go by the actual gauge then is what I'm thinking.

Definitely go by the gauge but it’s nice to know you will probably be ok if you’re within a few miles of a gas station if it says 0
