I usually get between 260 km and 350 km from a tank, depending on the type of driving I do .... but I have noticed that I am starting to get less mileage now, I have nearly 20000km on mine ....

Id estimate about the same as Countach. Have you tried different fuel? You are using premium right?
As for QPhox4 maybe you need to slip a valium under your tongue hey champ.

Cars don't achieve their best gas mileage until they are fully warmed up. The engine management richens the mixture based on coolant temerature. Lubricants throughout the car are cold and stiff. Five mile trips likely have little/no time actually wamed up all the way. Don't idle the car for a long time to warm it up, drive it - much faster / saves gas.

Here's some data from a car with more "experience" - 38k miles. Data has been tracked for all gas fills. Overall average as a daily driver (mixed highway and surface street use) = 24.2 mpg. Maximum mileage on one tank (on the highway at ~ 65-70 mph average speed) = 27.9 mpg. Maximum range on one tank = 311 miles (required 11.867 gallon fillup). Lowest mileage (on the track) = 8.6 mpg.

I calculate the mileage at every fillup, but only keep mental records, not a spreadsheet.
Street only driving is typically 18-19 mpg for short trips with lots of stop and go.
High speed (80+) highwy driving yields 26-27 mpg.
Best ever on highway was 29mpg when traveling slower due to heavy traffic.
Interestingly, when the last light on my fuel guage goes out, a fillup is only 11 gallons.
