Fuel expansion and contraction

Picked up my NX 450h+ a few weeks ago with full tank of gas. So far only drove about 90km in HV mode, the fuel gauge still shows full. 2 days ago, the temperature dropped about 10°C, in the morning, I noticed that on the fuel gauge, it has lost one bar, and the HV range drop to about 760km, 2 days later, the temperature went back, and the fuel gauge shows full again, HV range is 900km. Looks like the estimate range left is very inaccurate.

A trip/range calculator for HV mode on the 450H+ is absolute garbage.
The fuel gauge is far from accurate as well. I once had it at empty, but the fill-up took less than 10 gallons.
