Soon I have to travel to Virginia from NJ in my 2016 Mazda CX-5.
I stopped in at my local WaWa gas station to fill it up even though I was above 3/4's full.
The pump shut off after it put in $4.85.
Then to really top off the tank, more fuel was squeezed in... making the final amount I owed $6.03
So...
I drive away and the fuel dial is pinned but as I look at the dashboard it displayed "298 miles until empty".
Again, since I have a 2016 Mazda CX-5, from experience I know that I've seen that display show a number as high as "400 miles until empty".. Even if the pump clicks off and nothing more is squeezed in it will normally display something like "360 miles until empty"
What do you think is going on?
Was so much fuel squeezed in that it messed up whatever technology there is to accurately display how many miles until empty?
