2008 xb gas gauge?

Hi my lady has on o8 xb and every since we got the car the gas gauge seemed to be off, tonight she got home and said her car was running on fumes so we took it over to the gas station and filled it up car only took 11.6 gallons of gas. Before I filled it up the gauge was all the way past e and the on board computer said there was 0 miles to go before we ran out of gas lol. Does anyone have this same problem? we still had 2.5 gallons left thats when the low gas light should come on if I am not mistaken? Thanks for any info.

It's a reserve set up to make sure you don't get stranded with no gas. It's also bad to run your fuel pump dry since gasoline is the lubricant for it.

It's all about prevention.

p.s. no fuel gauge is fully accurate.
