I'd suspect you don't have it set up correctly. You need to tell it what kind of engine, fuel and tank capacity you have before it will read right. Then you need to "tweak" it when you fillup once or twice just to calibrate it. Usually that will do it. Did you set it up following the instructions in the manual?
