so today I was at 195 miles to empty and then all of a sudden it went from 195 to 165 and the gas gauge went to a little under half a tank when I was just parked.. I had just gotten gas.. what could it be?

Might be a sensor (float) or fuel gauge error, but i'd check for leaks if i were you.

I agree with betro. Check the float on the pump. Mine was acting up and I pulled out the pump and the float had a little bit of an issue moving up and down. I just cleaned it up with a little bit of steel wool and then it was fine.

pull the battery terminal for about an hour... then reconnect. if this doesnt work i agree with the statement above. sometimes cpu gets confuzed and just needs a reboot... ive had experience with it on my ol mans f150 which is an 04

could it be a spark plug?? I'm gettin 10.1 mpg
I wouldnt say sparkplugs are causing it, all expys get bad mileage so try driving with a light foot, as in 2000 rpm's at the most, anything past that and your wasting gas big time
