I go to start my car, and the miles left is still sitting at 38 miles, but the tank is nearly full as indicated by the fuel gauge in the second image (circle indicators).... However, 15 minutes later after driving, the dot indictator says its still like 95% full, but the mile'age left was SLOWLY incrementing up, from 38 miles left, to 41...then to 50....etc....

anyone have an idea wtf is going on? First pic is the gauge showing me how much it cost to nearly fill my tank up.....i verified after starting my car, and saw the dots nearly all the way across.....
second pic is checking after 10 minutes of driving..dots are full, but the # isn't showing like 380 miles left or whatever, but instead acting like its near empty(with 40+ miles left on range)

Attached pics
dirty contacts? should keep your tank at least half full, ideally near full as often as possible. since i only drive my Z on the weekends, i try to keep the tank filled as often as possible.
