Faulty fuel gauge.
robtan99:
I used to have this problem. Normally this is what i do.
Case 1:
1) When i pump, i choose the slow mode. When it auto stop, wait 2 minutes for the fuel level to go down. Then continue to pump in slowly.
My case is always 2 litres more from the auto stop.
2) I also use the STP fuel injector cleaner - those black type costing $9 plus and during offer only 7plus once in a long long while.
Case 2:
If your fuel gauge is stable for quite a number of tanks and suddenly in the recent tank it starts to show high fuel consumption and the fuel pointer can move down and after
a while move up again, this may be the issue of dirty air filter. Personal experience twice using simota air filter and knn air filter. They are good filters but u need to do cleaning if this problem occurs. I am lazy person so switch back to stock filter. The fuel consumptions varies from 12.9 to 14.5 km per liters when issues comes.

I just had mine changed FOC because still under warranty. Complained that the fuel indicator seems to drop very fast from full to 3/4 tank after only 75km.

So after changed the fuel sensor/gauge, what is is your maileage at 3/4 tank?
MadMatty:
I am still monitoring as I brought my car in after the 3/4 mark. But from the past three top up of petrol, it has been ranging from 75 to 90km and the top up fuel indicator lighting up at only 360Km mark. I don't think it is case of faulty sensor as each time I went to top up, its is about 37 to 38 liters. Which indicate that I have only about 8 liters left in my tank considering this is a 45 liter. Which actually indicate my FC return is very poor.

360km is quite bad. Something must be wrong. Either your right leg, heavy load, heavy rim, 95% city driving or traffic jam to and back from work. :confused1:
