| Description of the problem | I was on a road trip in my 2012 jeep compass (4x4 latitude version) from the nashville, tn area to the washington d. C. Area, in august, and was monitoring my fuel consumption on the trip. I noted my fuel gauge had been telling me that at the first half of the gas tank i had been getting around 210 miles out of that first half of the tank. My second half of the tank only gave me around 90 miles to the half tank, with about a gallon and a half remaining in the tank when i refueled. This is nearly 100 mile difference in mileage between the two measurements, on average, for highway driving conditions. The issue continues to this day. |
