Did the reprogramming affect your perceived range?
It affected by perceived range, yes. But from my odometer (odo) readings you see I don't travel many miles. I usually charge every 4-5 days instead of every week now, but I can still get 80 miles or so from 100 percent to 15-20 percent except for really cold conditions (for Texas, anyway). But I'm kinda torn about perceived range versus actual range. My route always takes about 5 percent to 6 percent of the battery (heat or a/c seems to affect that very little) so when I perceive the range down to the GOM-rated 15 percent I know where I can go and I see the actual range is 80 miles or so from the last charge I know I need to charge. Do I wish the battery lasted longer than a year and a half (perceived) before the first bar drops, yes. Did I have this kind of psychological anxiety of range when I drove my Prius and got down to 1/4 a tank? Yes.
When I reset my trip ODO after charging up, my monthly average has looked like this, and other than a few outlier months, it doesn't change much:
