Filled up on Monday and the indicator read that I had 426 miles till the next fill up. Today was passing a cheap('ish) petrol place and since I had time, thought I would top up to the top again. Noted before top up that my gauge was reading that I had 379 miles to go.
Tank took another £7 to fill to brim--but when I switched on ignition and drove off forecourt, the gauge was still reading 379......
Does this gauge have a mind of its own?

I find that unless you're putting in a reasonable quantity of fuel the gauge and range don't change immediately. I've had this mostly on courtesey cars which you invariably only want to but in a few litres before returning. And eveyone of them (which were not Mazdas) did not register the fuel.
Did the range eventually register the additional fuel?
