Thought I should add some data on highway driving to compare to the city
driving data I gave earlier for the Swift. I rarely do "all highway" trips,
but recently drove 41.1 miles round trip, only 7 of which were on 35 mph
roads, rest was at 60 - 65 mph on open highway, about 17 miles out, no

"I'm curious how you figure that a taxi driver can get better than 80 mile
range in NYC. In theory, yes."

Hi Peri,
Now that spring weather allows her to not use the heater in our 2012 Leaf (or
to have the pack heater kick in while parked outside at work), my wife is
averaging 3.8 to 3.9 miles/kwh by the in-car display. Her commute is about
50% arterial-residental (30-45mph), and 50% freeway (55-6
