Fuel range decrease 2021 Q8

I bought a 2021 Q8 June 2023. After i bought it, the fuel range shown in the app and the dashboard was 600 mi. throughout time, everytime i fill up the fuel range does not go up to 600 mi anymore. At this point it only goes up to 550 mi.
Does anyone have any idea why this is happening? Thanks in advance.

Seems logical that driving habits have changed and you are using more fuel for the same distance, therefore the average fuel consumption has increased and it is indicated accordingly when filling up.

Cold weather can also have a distinct impact on fuel economy, Stryker.

The range is calculated based on the last distance you made. If it was short and dynamic the range decreases. If you drive long distance and in economical style the range increases.

This mirrors my experience
