Did you re-calibrate your speedometer/odometer to compensate for the smaller diameter tire?

Your odometer would have been reading high, so maybe you thought your were getting more mpg's.

I don't know
I believe they have a range extending engine.
According to the internet the original i3 gets 126 to 153 mi battery-only, 200 mi total.
