Default Gas mileage Computer help!

So yesterday, while I was driving I had a lil bit over a quarter of a tank so I wasnt planning on getting gas soon til my dashboard says low fuel. Yeah at a quarter of a tank! It usually tells me low fuel when I have half of a quarter of a tank so I was tripping. When im at a quarter of a tank, I'm usually at like 90 miles til empty or around there and that time I was at 50! I stopped to put gas when I had just a but under the line of quarter of a tank and it was tellin me I had 35 miles til empty. Put 13 dollars of gas just to see the differences and that got me 3.99 gallons, do lets say 4 gallons. I then checked the computer and it said I had 127 miles til empty! 4 gallons at 10mpg which makes 40+35 does not add up to 127! -____-
But it was reasonable cause it was now at half of half a tank which is usually around 127 miles so the computer was wrong earlier.
Any ideas why this would have happened though.
