So, i filled up gas tonight and on the drive home i realize that the "miles left to the tank" reading is going in the opposite direction!! So, now my car is saying I have 405 miles to go and with every mile i drive, the number goes up by a mile. Anyone see that before? Simple reset or big repair? thanks in advance

Dont worry. This is perfectly normal.
And thats what should happen exactly when you first fill your tank. The reading changes accordingly with ur driving style.
Dont worry about it. After one or two short trips. You ll see the numbers going back down.
