Fuel Gauge off

I have noticed lately that the fuel gauge seems to be off about 5 gallons. I have a 2011 FX4 5.0 crewcab, 36 gallon. Has anybody noticed this on theirs?

Have a 09 F150 and the gas guage is very random full doesn't always show full and sometimes when it hits E theres still over a 1/4 of a tank lol It may be wrong alot but you always have more gas then what it may show which is better then the other way around.

When I fill up I try to guess how much it will take based on the gauge (game I play with my son).

The last few times I've been off by 5 gal or more. So maybe mine is a little off. I'll pay more attention going forward.

Like other poster said, at least it's been off the "good" way

Fuel gage

Might be worth a ride to the dealer. Been checking my fuel since day one calculator -vs- Gage reading. Rarely off more than 2-3 tenths of a gallon. If mine were off by 5 gallons I'd be questioning my dealer and looking for a fix. Good luck. K

A gas gauge is not a scientific calibrated instrument that has tick marks for each gallon...The fact it has gas in it at E is for dummies so they don't run out of gas.
