I would like to know if I should go and visit the dealer, since I have about 4000 miles left on the warranty.
Thanks
Numbers for city driving varies all over the place (too many factors to take into consideration). The 15MPG number in the book is optimistic for real world anyway. 270 miles per tank (I'm assuming you don't run your tank dry, which puts you in the range of 12-14mpg) sounds within reason that I doubt your dealer will do anything about it other than the "that's normal" canned answer.
