Fuel gauge broken?

[cvella]

Hi to all,

I've been driving my new Mazda 2 TS2 for the past 1.5 yrs totalling almost 16,000 km. Yesterday evening I went to a petrol station and poured in almost 27 lts of fuel. Strangely enough my fuel guage went from 1 bar to only 2 bars while my remaining km's mark went from 100km remaining to 530km remaining. This is strange and it has never happened before. The fuel gauge was on 1 bar and it was not flashing on Empty yet. I do this procedure week in week out and it usually goes up by 5 or 6 bars. Has anyone else experienced this?

Thanks,
Carl.
