In the morning, the car estimated that there would be up to 118 miles remaining on the first tank of gasoline.  By the evening, the car estimated only 84 miles remaining on the first tank of gasoline.  This is a difference of 34 miles, when I only drove 19 total miles that day.

During the segments of my trips, I noticed that at 220 miles on the odometer, the car estimated that there were 104 miles remaining on the first tank.  This was not too far off, as I had driven 7 miles at that point.  When I arrived home that morning, the odometer was at 226, and estimated 98 miles remaining on the first tank.  I drove 6 more miles that evening, and the car first estimated 98 miles remaining, with 84 miles estimated remaining at the end.
