"Range approx" number
Hello everyone. So I used to fill up my car and get a number between 310-315and now when I fill up I've been getting between 290-295. Any reason why this could be? Thanks

Yeah I recently got a 250 as a loaner with a full tank of gas and the number was almost 400. I'm just interested to see what other people who drive 350's get and why that number for me has recently gone down. I'm a laid back driver and wouldn't consider myself having a "lead foot". Thanks for the feedback guys.

I find lots of things hurt gas mileage:
1. Aggressive driving style
2. Lots of short trips
3. Colder ambient temperatures
4. Winter gas blend
5. Lots of city driving
6. A/C use (about 1 MPG)
I'm currently getting about 23 MPG in mixed suburban driving during the summer with A/C on. On long trips, I do much better, e.g., 26-27.

Good points Bichon. I'm here in San Antonio, Texas so I have started to use the AC more often. I didn't know the number adjusts to those driving factors though everytime you fill up.
