Default Fuel - Mile Monitor

I think my car pc is bugging out. Every time I fill up, it states I have 450+ miles in the tank. In reality, dealerships and car magazines have stated the most miles I can get out of the tank stated was 400. I've been tracking how many miles I drive per tank by resetting my mile tracker. I do my best to fill up my tank when there are 3 markers left on the gas gauge and I average about 320 to 350 miles per tank. Is this something I should take to the dealership?

Nope, pretty much every car I've ever owned with a Distance to Empty (DTE) function, from BMWs down to lowly Dodges, all do pretty much the same thing.
