What's Your Average Speed?

At 2160 miles, my avg speed is 20.6 mph. I use my Leaf mostly for local driving, so not surprising to me.

My lifetime average is 23.4 which includes a lot of freeway rush hour travel...

32.8, IIRC, in mixed driving. Very little stop & go traffic, though. Also no 60+MPH freeway driving.

Never look at it. Last time I saw it in passing it was like 22-24, something like that, at close to 16k.

Is there a purpose for it? Why should I care?

If you were a pilot or boater, it is called VMG (Velocity Made Good) and you'd care...

Looked, it's 24.7, roughly 2/3 town roads, 1/3 highway, but I just follow the road, I never set a course based on wind direction. I might tack to get to a QC.

24.6mph, with a respectable 4.6kwh. Half stop and go, and half freeway

33.8 MPH

At 12,000 miles, it is 21.2. I am surprised as I think I drive faster than this. It must be all of those red lights.

1.04 miles per hour. That's 27633 miles in 3 years and 12 days. I've got an "elapsed" display but I reset it after it went to all 9s. That one is showing 2047 miles in 82 hours, or 24.9 mi/hr. Is there another source of this? It's probably correct. If I do a freeway trip at 70+MPH, the average is usually in the thirties. Clearly it counts the time standing still, including the time I just spent sitting in the car, flipping through all the settings, looking for info.
