Default Fuel Gage Issue 2008 F150

So on Sunday, I left my house, truck read 121 miles to E, I kept driving, when I arrived to my destination, it ready 170 to E, so then I drove it yesterday, and today, and when I was driving, the truck started shaking, and the gauge read 161 Miles to E, so I went and pumped $10 to see if it was my gauge messed up, and of course, the shaking went away, and the gauge now reads 191 to E. Need help, has anyone had this issue?

I've had the same issue. I don't pay any attention to the digital gauge anymore. It always jumps around. I'll fill up and it'll say 400+ miles then while driving it will literally drop a mile every second about. But my other gauge with the needle shows an accurate reading. The shaking could be anything, coil or plug or bad gas. Just keep monitoring it. I've taken mine in to the dealership and they say I'm basically crazy. Lol. I don't know. I'm sure Someone will have an answer for you bud

side not, my gauge on the dash is funky...
(distances in km by the way)

0 [---------^]
100 [---------^]
110 [--------^-]
200 [----^-----]
300 [---^------]
400 [--^-------]
500 [-^--------]
600 [-^--------]
650 [^---------] empty... or atleast the low fuel message shows up, havent ventured too far into low fuel but it only takes 85L from low fuel light, meaning it still had 15L left. gauge seems to take a while to move, then at 100-110km it darts toward 3/4. nearly half gone by 150km, and yet it does well over 650km... the last 1/4 goes 200km before the low fuel message too :s anyone elses guage seem to sweep fast between 1/4 and 3/4?
