You know now that you mention this, it does make sense. I remember the first day I came home from the dealer with my 4runner, it was showing something like ~400+ miles remaining; but now no matter how I reset my meter, it's no where close to that. I guess like you said, there some kind of other database that it calculates off of and is not easily reset-able?
However, I think OP is talking about something else; he seems to have an issue with the display reading 0 miles left even though the tank is no where near empty. I ran across this once before, and I forget what fixed it. I recall just needing to refill the tank to full. Most of the time I think my display showing ~20 or so miles left when the low fuel light comes on, so something sounds out of sync for OP, right?
