Hi all - I've had my leaf for a couple of weeks. A drive to the airport near me is abut 18 miles. I charged my leaf 100% because I had to take relatives to the airport today, and thought that we might have some other errands. The car said that I had 100 miles available. I drove part of the time on the freeway, but kept my speed at or below 65 MPH. I kept the AC off, except for a short time when my grandson said that his socks were sweaty. Anyway, I got home, and my car had just 45 miles left available. That means that I somehow used up 55 miles going just 36 miles. Does that seem right? I know that more power is used on freeways. My car was a demo, and is a 2011. It has nearly 1000 miles on it. Thanks for any help. My problem is that it seems hard to judge how far I can go. For example, with a full charge, I'd be worried about trying to go even 80 miles. Take care, LauraA
