.miles to go fluctuating

Asked by GuruBD2HX Dec 07, 2018 at 05:46 PM about the 2012 Ford Focus Titanium Hatchback

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

The " miles to go before needing gas" is not accurate. It fluctuates and has
even showed " empty " when I had about $10.00 worth of gas still in the car.

Thank you for responding, however, it fluctuates even when there is plenty of gas in the car, not just when low.

When you drive the computer continually adjusts the miles to empty as your driving changes. If you are going up hill the computer will reduce the miles to empty down and it will show more miles to empty when you go down hill.

I have no doubt that Ford allows a reserve of a couple of gallons so that idiots don't run out of gas.
