Folks,
Just noticed something weird yesterday. On my QX60 I have been getting consistent 22.2 to 22.6 miles/gallon average with BP Premium fuel (mixed city/highway driving). I also normally fill up when my guage is around 1/4 tank mark. Yesterday when I was exiting the highway, I looked at my fuel guage and it was at the 1/4 mark. I came up to a STOP light and all of a sudden my "Fuel Low" indicator popped up and my fuel guage went from 1/4 full to past the Red Mark to empty. I had the dash display set to indicate miles driven, miles to empty etc. and just before this happened it said 56 miles to empty, but all of a sudden it went down to 0 and then --. The car still continued to drive and I stopped at the Gas Station that I normally fill gas and I filled 16.801 gallons of fuel. I believe the fuel tank capacity is around 19.5 gallons ... so just curious if I have a bad fuel guage sensor or is this just a one off thing?
Anyone else observed anything similar to this?
Thanks!
