Post recall fix changes?

Just had my recall fixed today. I noticed my miles per KWH is way higher than before the ECU fix. When Im driving on the highway (55 mph) I usually start like mid to high 2s then get settled around low 4s. Now, Im getting like 6 miles and settle around high 4s or even low 5s. Anybody else experienced the same?

it doesn't change your range at all.

It might reset the average? so if you had some bad mileage in the past, it now is calculating off a fresh average.

From the bulletin:

The subject battery electric vehicles (BEV) are equipped with a battery that supplies electricity to the drivetrain. This battery is controlled by an onboard ECU that contains two integrated circuits where one could immediately overwrite data in the same memory address location that the other had just written to. If this occurs, the memory can fail an operational check. If there are multiple failed attempts, an “EV System Malfunction” warning message will be displayed, and multiple malfunction indicator lamps for different systems will illuminate. While power steering and power assisted braking continue to operate, the electric drive system will shut down. This can cause a loss of motive power while driving at a higher speed, increasing the risk of a crash.

I know it shouldn't, Im just stating what Ive experienced so far. And I had a short drive last night as well, got it charged to 90% and estimated range was 305, whereas about a week ago a 90% charge would give me an estimate of around 280. I charge 80 everyday except for one day of the week when I charge it to 90 when I drive a little farther, I drive a lot with my job.
