Question Fuel Weirdness....... wtf

So...I'm sitting at 38 miles left, almost near E......I have a bad habit of doing this.



I go to kangaroos, and fill up.
I notice though, the price, and gallon gauge on the gas pump is crawling..............not moving anywhere.....hardly moving up. So I pull the fuel pump slightly out, while im holding on the trigger, and fuel is gushing out, so I know it's working.............

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)
