09 Ford fusion used to read 500 mile to go before empty. Now reads 425. Is there a prob or is this norm?

Generally speaking, cars lose a bit of economy as they age, but that seems to be a bit over the limit for lost MPG due to age. May be the sending unit in the fuel tank is not reading the fuel level accurately. Have you noticed if it seems accurate on the miles per tank? Is it correct? Or never let it go that far? It may need a fuel filter change and/or a tune up too.
Have your driving habit's changed, low tire pressure
There's nothing wrong with you're car. That's basically a calculater guessing how many miles you have till empty. When you use the throttle and drive hard on the trottle (use more gas) , your mpg changes so it recalculates the amount of miles till empty. Same if you were to drive light on the trottle (using less gas) your mpg will go up and the amount of miles till empty will up and recalculate. So your car is running like it should.
- What's now wrong with my 2005 Ford 500? 2005 Ford 500 was running fine until Ford dealer did an oil change, replaced air filter and tried to sell me $1000 more "services". Since then it has slight to severe hiccups when hitting brakes and/or when going down the road, especially on small hills.
- I have a 2013 Ford Fusion, I just purchased warranty replacement tires on the car in December. The car is worse in the rain now than before? The tires only have 3,000-4,000 miles, but they are hydroplaning worse that the previous bald tires. They are not off brand tires, but Michelin's. Would like to know if there's anything that can be done.
- Oil pressure gauge randomly drops & reads again? I have 2000 Ford Expedition. We already changed the sensor on it. But the oil pressure gauge drops randomly while driving & then reads. Hasn't lost power & isn't knocking. Has fresh oil & filter.
