fuel mileage took a dive

Ok, I know these things don't get great mileage, but I usually got about 16 or 17 at 70mph. Took a drive today for about 45 min at 70 down the interstate. Used 1/4 tank of fuel. Mileage computer shows average of 9.8mpg........ HELP!!!

I don't know if I would trust the computer. With that said it could be a combination of things. Bad fuel, regen, gauge going out. I would fill the tank and start documenting ever thing.
