Hello fellow bar watchers, Here is what I have: 2011 LEAF, 8/10/2011 in service date, so 5 weeks left 43K miles AHr: 44.02 SOC: 67% Hx: 46.11% GIDs: 174 What are the chances the 4th bar will drop by the 5th anniversary? Anything else from the LeasSpy readout that's useful? Thanks, Reza

Thanks, everyone, for the detailed responses. I think I have learned something new: it isn't the process of charging to 100% that is the problem, it is sitting idle at 100%, right? If so, I might have the best of all worlds: I charge at home to 80% at nights. After my 22-mile commute to work...

The title says it! I charge at night at home with a 240v charger, and follow the advice to stop at 80% capacity. But at work during the day, I just plug the car into the 110v outlets provided for electric cars, and let it go all the way to 100%. Why turn down free electricity? But now I am...

Agreed: the sealant is the option of last resort. But this is what happened: I also hit a curb and punctured a hole in the sidewall. But not realizing that's what had happened, I tried to follow the "manufacturer's recommended procedure", and used the sealant and the compressor to fix the tire...

FWIW, I purchased the item above. It does ship to the US. The sealant was £20.95, which is ~$32: http://www.care4car.com/productdisplay/productid/231/Continental_Compressor_and_Tyre_Sealant_Kit.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; I bought two of the kits above, and the shipping...

Hi folks, A newbie here with 3 days of experience behind the wheel of a leaf. A question regarding the nav system: can I change the color of the route? It highlights the route in yellow, and all the other streets are also a different shade of yellow. Or am I colorblind? :-) Thanks, Reza
