But watch it start blinking when I hit 310miles or so :( I dont get how I lose 3 bars in 60-70miles, but lose the first four after 200-240miles.

As you described it, it is strange. IMHO, under normal conditions, it is unlikely that three gauge bars can be lost in a matter of just 60-70 miles considering that the same car has covered 240+ miles for the first half of its fuel gauge range i.e. half the number of the bars (NB:not the car's real range). It is my presumption that all relevant conditions have remained more or less unchanged. Otherwise, anything can happen, right? Yet on the other hand, it is not too unreasonable for the last bar to start blinking at 310 miles (about 500 km). All gauge bars are understandably not equal when it comes to the distances that they individually cover but your case appears a bit too weird.
The car should presumably be under warranty and I would suggest taking it to the dealership for a checking.
All the best!
