i'm assuming that range is calculated from MPG and Fuel Level. If MPG is correctly displayed, I guess it might be the Fuel Level? When you fill up the tank all the way, does it show you that the fuel level is full?

yup. when i fill up. it is full. and i put in like 16-18 gallons. still showed 155. or something like that. i was thinking it was the computer? maybe it needs to be reset? cuz i know i dont get 135 to the tank. its more like 300 or something.

Maybe it needs a software update.
