    Milage/KWH ratio

    I believe the most accurate method of calculating mileage ratio requires a GID meter. I use miles driven from the odometer / (KWH used) from the GID meter and I find that the ratio presented by the trip computer and the touch screen are almost always .5 higher than the GID meter calculation...

    Who better to write and App for mileage range info than a Leaf owner who's also a computer data analyst? I wrote the App in Java and it will only work on Android phones and tablets.
