2017 Hatchback LX CVT with 12,600 miles on it and purchased in August 2017.
A couple of weeks ago my low fuel light came on as I was driving to the gas station. Usually, when this happens, it will end up taking around 10.3 gallons to fill up. The pump shut off at 9.4 gallons. Looking at the fuel gauge in the car, it was a "box" or two short from the very top of the gauge, past the F mark.
Today, I decided to get gas. The low fuel light was NOT on, but I was pretty low. The pump shut off at 1.5 gallons so I restarted it and it eventually shut off at 9.4 gallons again. Now, from the amount of gas that I had left, that seems about right, but the fuel gauge in the car is one "box" short from the very end of the gauge. I went to the same gas station, but used a different pump this time.
Any ideas if this is a car issue or just bad luck with pumps? I know there have been issues with fuel overflow, but this is different.
