problem #2

F-150 XLT Super Cab 4.6L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 200 miles

The same that the other user posted, the gauge and the average MPG are inaccurate. This isn't a serious problem, but it's annoying that when I'm going to fuel up, I use to fuel more than 15 gal and the gauge never reaches more than 3/4 of the tank, even if I had 1/4 before fueling up.

I just tell you that I've never seen my fuel gauge in the Full range...

F-150 FX4 V8

  • Automatic transmission
  • 1,000 miles

Since new, the fuel level shown by the gauge and the miles left to empty shown in the information center has been inaccurate and inconsistent. I will park the truck with it near empty and showing 15 miles to empty then the next morning I'll have a quarter tank and 110+ miles to empty. I routinely fuel up when the truck shows I'm within a gallon of running out but when I fill up the tank it only takes 28 gallons..., it has a 36 gallon tank. I've run out of gas in my driveway when the gauge shows near a quarter of a tank, and I've run to the gas station thinking i'm about ready to run dry only to find out I have a quarter tank. On occasion I've noticed the fuel gauge going up while I'm driving...., neat trick
