An example would be today:

No preconditioning, travelled 12.5 miles, first 1/2 mile was petrol then all electric. Heating, fan on lowest setting, 20 degrees.

Range is showing I lost 10 miles of petrol.

tbh I would expect that, you use most petrol first half a mile especially if in traffic, you are still using fuel after first 1/2 mile aux heater. The range Varies so much, I have started many journeys with a range of say 160 do a 10 mile journey and at end it is on 17 ish etc. many of my journeys it has gone up.

Do you use VOC?

If so activate journal, that is very good at giving you how much fuel and electric used over a journey.

The Petrol Range will vary depending on how the car is driven on petrol while using petrol, it also takes into account fuel used for Aux Heater.

Yes using VOC, that’s where I’m getting my data from, but it is vastly different to my real life experience!
