Hello
We got our A200d on this feb from that time we did get more than 500 miles after filling the tank full
but now we are getting around 400 miles just to find out is this because of the weather?
Thank you in advance Regards,
 
There are many factors that can reduce winter mpg.

Winter fuel has a lower calorific value to the tune of 2-3%
Longer warm up times
Cold air is denser which increases aerodynamic drag and this can be a bigger effect than the fuel at high speed
Unless you correct them tyre pressures will fall by as much as 5 psi which increases rolling resistance
Last bet not least I find traffic congestion worse in the winter
