Fuel range question
I'm new to Corvettes and just picked up a '99 FRC with 53k on it.
Here's my problem:
I just filled the gas tank up (14.7 gallons) and the range on the fuel gauge is reading 181 miles. The gas gauge however is reading full. The last few times I filled it up the range said 380-407. Any ideas?

Also need to make sure your not having a problem with the "fuel average
memory" Mine would reset itself after first starts in the morning. This
was a sign I was having electrical issue turned out my battery was
going bad. I replaced the battery and have no more "fuel memory" issues.

I'll have a lot of newbie questions, Thanks in advance for ya'lls patience. I'm a Ford guy that made the switch to Corvette. I have a 9 sec Foxbody and an F-350, I'm learning from scratch here. I have already built the ramps and stuff so I can get the car up on jack stands and ect... I've had the car since last Wed.
