Yes. Starting with the 2013 model LEAF there is a very useful percentage
of charge display option.
You can also reset the miles/kWh display before a trip in order to
monitor what your average is for that particular trip.
With those two numbers you can get a good idea of how you're doing.
Once you've successfully done a route a few times you'll relax a bit
about watching the numbers and just enjoy the drive.
BTW, the guess-o-meter is reportedly less erratic and a bit more useful
starting with the 2013 model year. My guess is they changed the
algorithm to average over a wider time period.

Ignoring the guess-o-meter for the moment...how accurate is the remaining charge meter? Can one use
it mentally like one does the gas gauge on an ICE vehicle? That is, if you know that you typically
get 100 miles on a full "tank" and the meter shows you've got a quarter "tank"
left, you better not plan on going much more than twenty miles before charging and even that's
pushing your luck. Does that sort of thing work?
