I had a full tank (10gal i believe) and i went from the full marker to half tank marker and got 85 miles on my odo. and thats driving the same i was with the old fuel pump. Im a cruise addict so everytime im driving you kno the cruise is on.

Anyone kno what could be causing it? or even a guess?

I'll guess the gauge is reading differently if the sending unit was also replaced. See what you get when you use up almost a full tank, when it gets near empty, you might want to carry a couple gallons with you.
