So it's bullshit.
Assuming your Buick Century is the last model made (2005) your fuel gauge looks like this one



As it has no numbers on it at all, its impossible to know with any detail whatsoever if you are getting better or worse economy or range from one to another.

And since you are driving in Montreal, you know the seasons change your driving habits. You use the air conditioner and summer tires in the summer and the heater and winter tires in the winter. Unless you are tracking all of that, and have an accurate detailed fuel gauge, you have no idea what your actual efficiency is.

I'm sorry to say but you are probably paying too much for your energy, especially since you live in Quebec where electricity is the cheapest in North American. Next spring, you should consider getting a nice new electric car. Lots of companies are rolling out some really cool models in 2020. Ask any of them to let you test drive one for a day or so and you'll probably be convinced.
