On a long trip last weekend I went 435 miles and still had approximately 30 left on the range estimator. I put in 16 gallons at fill up so that was pretty close.
Still less range than my Odyssey which had a 21 gallon tank and I used to get 30 mpg so I could usually get 500 on a tank.
Hope that helps,
John

I've noticed my range has always been on the low side. Despite averaging 23mpg since purchase, it rarely goes above 320-330 miles of range. I'm getting over 400 miles a tank. Resetting the fuel economy doesn't change anything.

I filled today and dash miles to go indicated 428 miles to go.
I have no idea yet as to local or mixed driving range, but the last fillup on my 1700 mile trip showed a 530 mile range and the overall trip fuel economy was 29.6 mpg indicated. I set the cruise control at 71 mph for 70mph limits, but set it 5 mph over all lower limits. The 71 setting made for easy driving on the x-ways; I could stay in the right-most lane most of the time except during rush hours around the cities.

I usually get great mileage and go 450+ on a tank but now that we're in the polar vortex and I'm driving a big 3 miles to and from work my numbers don't look so good. Even gentle highway miles at -10F don't give me good mileage these days. Still...considering the conditions I'm happy to be over 20mpg (it's cold!)
I once drove 500 miles on a tank in my non-hybrid. They were all highway miles, and the fuel light came came on as I pulled into the gas station. I'm guessing I had about two gallons left in the tank which means I could have gotten about 60 miles more before bone dry. I wasn't hyper-miling during the trip, but I do drive closer to the speed limit, which was 70 for most of that trip.
It may be normal for you, but would be very low for me. It depends on your driving habits and your mix of highway/city driving, and whether or not you take advantage of Engine Stop Start (ESS). My experience is that ESS really helps, especially in FL where the traffic lights are several minutes long.
I am getting about 21mpg in suburban driving (just under 400mile range indicated on fill-ups) with my 2020 gas Pacifica. That is about 3mpg less than I got with my 2017 gas Pacifica for the same driving in suburbia. I never had a range indication of less than 400 miles with the 2017. I can't get a 600 mile range with the 2020 on trips, but often got more than that with the 2017 model.
Yes, old thread, but fun to revive. We drove 240 miles in our gasser to a K9 scent work trial last weekend. Horrible head wind. Only managed 22.9 mpg. That was going 75 mph. The return trip was much better. We had a cross wind that wasn't nearly as hard, and I learned something! A woman in an older Chevy Colorado pick-up was playing leap-frog with us (perhaps unintentionally as she had a female passenger and they were yacking), so I decided the last time she passed us to stay behind her no matter her speed variations. Adaptive speed control kept us a safe distance from her. Anyway, instead of driving an almost constant 75mpg, our speed would sometimes drop to 70-72 mph, and our MPG's would go up almost by two. When she sped up to the high 70's, we just stayed back at 75 mph. Eventually she would slow down again and we would catch up, then slow back down to the low 70s. Went on for about an hour before they exited the freeway. Our gas mileage on this return trip had been around 28.4 before this all started. Soon after they got off we picked up heavier traffic as we were approaching the Twin Cities, so speed rarely got up to 75 mph. In the end our average for the trip home was 30.3 mpg.
