    Cruise Control under 45mph drain on battery?

    I only go into CC when it can be maintained at 1 bubble, so if speed limit is 40 will use 2 bubbles to get to 42 then drop off pedal till it hits one bubble and then engage CC.

    Cruise Control under 45mph drain on battery?

    Often use CC when driving under 45mph on relatively flat city streets. Since posted speed limit is often 40mph, able to make through several intersections before light turns red. Is this an efficient way to use CC on the Leaf or does it drain the battery quicker?

    Highest number of miles driven, uninterrupted, on 1-charge

    I've only had my Leaf for several weeks now but so far my top mileage on a single charge has been about 80m at 62mph of freeway driving and some residential. The distance is based on google maps which seems more accurate than Carwings.

    105+ mile range

    How are the bars any more accurate than the 'guessometer' figure? Isnt the visual representation via number bars simply corresponding to the mileage remaining number? Has anyone actually compared the two and proven that the bars are more accurate?

    Eco-mode vs Regular mode while driving on the Freeway

    Will Headlights draw too much power if left on all the time

    ...while driving. On my Prius, I always had the headlights on during the day while driving. It seems like a good safety measure to increase visibility for other drivers. However, I'm concerned about doing the same thing with the Leaf as every 'ounce' energy that can be squeezed out is...

    What were your lease terms?

    I recently traded in my Prius '10 and leased the Leaf SL instead of purchsng. With the $7500 credit applicable immediately vs waiting 1yr for the deduction, the lease was just too attractive. In the end, my terms were zero down, 15mi/yr, 3yr term for $620mo.

    Possible to override headlight turn-off timer?

    The factory preset for the headlight auto setting is 30sec and 1min. Is there a way to program headlights to automatically turn off in less than 30sec? This was possible on my Prius.
