    Just put a brand new fuel pump/sending unit and my gas is reading way off. I went only 139 miles after filling up completely when my low fuel light came on. Filled it up and only took 10 gallons? Idk what to think, looking for some input. Not sure how it was before the fuel pump swap because I bought it that way (needing the pump, not running). Thanks everyone!
    I have also gone 30ish miles and used 9.6 gallons of gas already, the way this is figuring, im better off driving my H2!

    When my low fuel light comes on I usually put in around 12-13 gallons. I'd look around and make sure you don't have a leak somewhere. Turn the key a few times to prime the pump and look for wetness.

    This guy has a problem with his reading also. Maybe not the same issue but worth a read.
