Can't believe it would ever do that John, what would be the point?
Regarding miles to empty reading, it will drop dramatically if you drive hardish especially shortly after an average mpg reset because the latter will drop dramatically as well.
As you can see the fuel level sensing is quite complex and it would only take one of those level sensors to go u/s to really mess it up.
