Petrol range

[Pm4]

It seems that every time I take my 450h for service the petrol range showing drops considerably after the service (20 miles recently and 60 miles previously) only to reappear after refilling. Anyone else experienced this and why this happens?

I think the range is calculated from your current driving style.

If you are driving on the motorway your range could be very good.

If you are driving slowly around a garage or not moving at all your range is poor.

Probably easy to "lose" 60 miles.

Thanks, but what I mean is when I left the car for the service it was showing 200 miles when I collected the car it showed 180 and there was enough electric range, checked trip records and only showed few local miles in electric, for testing. Spoken to them but had no explanation for it. On the previous service showed a drop of 60 miles but after adding 10 pounds of petrol, the original range reappeared plus the additional 10 pounds !?!?

Most likely because they leave it on for ages running petrol
