* Fuel gauge sender unit: This unit in the fuel tank sends a signal to the gauge. A faulty sender is a common cause of inaccurate readings.
* Fuel gauge itself: The gauge in your instrument cluster could be malfunctioning.
* Computer issues (for fuel economy calculations): A problem with the vehicle's computer system could affect the fuel economy calculations, though this is less likely to simply show a wrong number and more likely to show an error code.
To address inaccuracies, you'd need to troubleshoot these components, likely with a mechanic or by using a diagnostic tool. There is no simple "reset" to fix a problem with these systems.
