Absolutely! The combined range is a joke, and really doesn't help when you're on a longer motorway type journey.
That the range is based on the way you drive is fine, but it should have been set to at a range that is possible by using the battery fully and a tank of fuel at an average 'petrol only' consumption rate over say the previous 100 miles, which is more typical of how non-EV range displays work.
