I left on a short errand today with 10 (of still 12, @14k) bars showing and in only 7 miles it dropped 3 bars, and after 10 miles I was down to 6. I drove maybe 3 of the 10 miles at 25 mph and 7 at ~50.
Now, I don't have a GID meter and I am leasing, so it's not a major issue, but it still concerns (or at least puzzles) me. Is it normal to lose those bars so quickly? Perhaps I was just barely at 10 to begin and on the high end of 6 when I returned? But even then, three full bars in only 10 miles seems pretty quick.
This is mostly asked out of curiosity (and for others' edification via the responses). Especially because I live in a mild climate, still have all 12 bars, and am leasing.
