Later, the gauge went up slowly though it took more than an hour; the range is still near the old value. I drove nearly 30kms after filling the fuel.

Has anyone else had similar issues?
Having the same issue. The range/gauge changes fast, but the estimate is completely wrong. Even the gauge suddenly drops to low fuel and made me panic yesterday. Really wonder what's causing this.

The dte figure is off by around 14%,the last time I did a tankful method for a long drive. The meter is completely unreliable as you reach the reserve. Probably because, low fuel levels cause fuel pump problems and the low range shown makes you refuel before they tank is completely empty.
