O.K. heres the deal,Im loosing my mind our Im just plain stupid.As stated I put a full tank of gas in the car with some system cleaner before I get the car smogged.I drive my car a few times a month or whenever I get the itch but Ive been driving abit more to run this tank of gas out.It had been a week since I last drove the car but I knew this tank of gas was just about out but noticed the gage was at 3/4 a tank but had 190 miles on the ODO,I always reset the ODO with a tank of gas.I figure this tank is low at 190 so I go fill the tank and it only takes 5 gallons,5 gallons out of a full tank would be about 3/4 full.Sooooooooooooo,at some point I filled the tank with fresh gas and forgot to reset the ODO,and I dont remember doing it.At least thats all I can think of as to what might have been the problem.
