Reduced gas mileage
I've had my 05 XB1 for a little note than 3 weeks. 34k miles and have filled the tank 3 times. The first task. If gas I got around 370 miles. The second and 3rd have between drastically lower, more around 250-270. Any ideas?

Fuel companies are changing over from winter blended fuel to summer blended fuel at the refineries. Your xB may need to get adjusted to the new fuel mix or you may need to run a fuel cleaner through next fill up. Winter blends tend to have higher octane level and better energy content per gallon, or so I've heard/read...thus better fuel economy.
