Default Digital gas gauge

Bought my 2011 a4 last July and digital gas gauge showed full tank as getting around 465 miles. Now filling up it is decreasing in miles. Filled up today and full tank dropped to 410 miles. Anyone else have this issue and possibly what has caused it?

It is a function of how aggressively (or not) you have been driving recently. The range is calculated by knowing the fuel capacity and dividing by your recent fuel consumption rate. Recent city driving makes the range look bad; gentle cruising at 90km/h makes the range look great.
