Default False gas mileage reading

I have a 2023 C8 Z51 with false gas mileage, I currently have 516 miles on the odometer, after filling my tank up twice , the fuel gauge only registers 165 miles full. I would like to know if anyone has had this issue with their 2023 C8 Z51?

My 23 C8 Z51 LT3 registers 220 miles full, always only using either Shell or Chevron 91

You guys must only drive full throttle or low gears. The range is based on fuel level and average fuel mileage over the last so many miles(25-50) I would guess.

What is your average showing?

My 2022 shows about 330 miles after a fill up. I'm getting 18-19 mpg. Mostly stop and go traffic commuting to work, grocery store, etc.
