Are you saying you only drive 10 miles but your odometer is showing you've driven 15 miles?

yes not 15 but just 1 or 2 miles more.
As we press for RANGE OF MILES...when i filled half tank gas filled it showed 220 miles range and after i drive for 5 miles now the range shows 204 miles... I can see the gas level is also going down...may be too much gasoline its consuming?....i dont know why its doing....i was out of country for 4 months and battery went low,, i had to call AAA to jumpstart the vehicle...did any sensors go wrong or ...its consuming more oil.

This is typical behavior - the range is only an estimate, depending on your average MPG. City driving vs Highway driving.
The only time I find it to be somewhat accurate is when I am at a consistent MPG consumption, driving on a long, flat highway trip for hundreds of miles.

Range of miles changes slowly based on fuel being consumed at that time. As an example, if you are driving 45mph for an extended period time you will be using less fuel and the range will increase. If you then start driving 80 the range will slowly decrease.
If you are concerned use a navigation app to see if destination distance matches the miles per the odometer.
