Hybrid Fuel Gauge/Tank Float Malfunction?

[Randy H.]

Filled up my Hybrid at Costco yesterday and about 20 miles later I noticed my fuel gauge was showing just over 3/4 full. Switched over to see the miles remaining screen and it showed 480 to empty.

It appears my fuel gauge and/or tank float is malfunctioning. I'm going to top it off again today after work just to confirm.

I've had that happen (also at Costco, a coincidence), but it turned out to be my fill-up. I think the nozzle may click off well before it should if you run it at full flow. I've had better consistency in refueling when I reduce the fill rate for the last gallon or two. Like you said, gas it up again to see how much it takes and what the gage shows...
