Shortest Range Club - Post your results

I know there's a club for 100+ milers here, however while driving on the highway @ 65mph up a very steep grade I wondered what the least amount of mile someone got on a full charge. I assume the worst case scenario would be very cold, going fast up a hill with the climate control on full blast. Any thoughts on what the worst milage would be?

Yes, you will get zero miles running the heater full blast when the temperature is 20 degrees F. and you have a flat tire and can't drive anywhere. :lol:

Lowest range contender, "nader": 0.8 miles per kWh over 6 miles; estimated range, 0.8 x 21 = 16.8 miles !!!

I averaged 2.2 miles per K during the snowstorm we had. 20" of unplowed snow meant I had to rock the Leaf to getit out of the street I lived on. This could only be done by disabling traction control. The Prius can not do thisand it did not move for a week!

We'd also have to consider the Pikes Peak Hill Climb, but I don't know if we got any numbers from that one.

I get 60 miles a charge when driving to and from Miami and Ft. Lauderdale on the turnpike. The normal flow of traffic is over well over 70mph although the speed limit is 65mph.

Haha, I'll claim that. That was literally using the throttle as an on/off switch. Very low regen too because I was always braking at the limit of the tires.
