Distance to empty estimator way off

[stannypack]

Had a shop install an MGW shifter for me, everything drives good and fine but when I check the fordpass app the miles is way off. I usually get 160 on a full tank

If they disconnected your battery for any reason it may have reset the MPG data and subsequently the miles to empty data.

It won’t recalculate until you fill up again.

Distance to E calculations are a little funky sometimes. After a track weekend my car takes more than a tank to recalculate.

I have a 2019 GT auto and the level your gage shows would be right on mine, I get about 300+ miles to a tank.

I just got back from a 500 mile trip in my Bullitt. I filled up twice and DTE was showing 227 and 279 respectively. Here’s where things got really interesting. After driving on the first fill up, DTE got down to 66 miles. A few minutes later, DTE dropped to 25 and then 0 (with the yellow warning box popping up on the dash). The gas gauge also dropped to E and was showing red. I filled up and the car only took a little over 9 gallons.

The same thing happened on the second fill up, when DTE reached 86 miles. Within 20 seconds, DTE dropped to 2 miles and then 0. I immediately got off of the interstate and found a gas station 1/2 mile off of the exit ramp, but before I could make it that far, the engine stumbled and DTE reset itself and was showing 78 miles to empty. I filled up again and the car took 10.3 gallons of fuel.

Has anyone else experienced this? If so, what did you do to resolve the issue?
