I like to have a little air circulating but don't need heat or AC most times. On the Mini-E we saw barely any impact with AC and none with fan.
The Leaf no matter what setting I have tried reduces 5 miles off estimate if I just tick up the fan one notch. It says "Gain +5 miles by turning off climate control". I tried putting temp down to max and make sure AC is off.
I am not sure if I am not understanding the interface and some power sucking climate control is running or is it another weird thing in the mileage estimator.
This is why I really prefer a % SOC for these things. Then I could do my commute an really know the impact of everything. I need to experiment a lot more and see.
Anyone else have some experience on this?
