I have a 2025 Kia Niro HEV. I recently refueled it to full tank and noticed that the fuel indicator did not even reduce by one bar after driving for 70+ miles, while the average computed is around 52mpg.

I belive Kia Niro has a fuel tank of 11.1 gallons and there are 12 bars in the digital display, which means each bar should represent less than a gallon of fuel usage (if every bar equates to equal amount of fuel in the tank), but here I have definitely driven a lot more. Anybody has any idea if every bar out of the 12 means the same quantity of fuel or how the math is done?

Btw, after I clicked this picture, I lost the first bar on the fuel indicator after about 82 miles of driving.
