Default Gas level question

I've noticed lately when I fill up, the range is around 398 miles. It used to go up to 409 miles. Any reason for this?

I think he's talking about the trip computer.

I think that the range displayed is based on a weighted average of your mpg. In the winter your mileage will drop, so your average mpg will too, and that will be reflected in the computer's projected range.

Ahh I forgot how the chilly weather affects everything. I'm sure it will be back to normal when it gets hot at as hell again
