Been getting very similar results. Solid state relays for heaters failed because of bad Pb battery (voltage getting too low when DC/DC is not on) and I wired heater "always on". Max range is about 25 miles with this setup. Of course it depends how fast you drive but I drive mostly in the city (less than 30mph).

Use of heater eats mpg reading but I don't care about that much. It is still clean driving and heat comes fast.

Some regular driving after installing 20 new Winston 90Ah cells to the front. I'm using my 6kW heater setup a lot. Input to heater elements is probably about 4kW because of low voltage. Sidenote: 12V battery is dying. I can't even get a full charge anymore as 12V supply fades off and miniBMS gives up the relay control. Relay opens and charger shuts off. Immediate actions needed as weather is getting colder and poor Pb-battery doesn't hold charge even during warm days.

25km driven, 5.5kWh back into batteries. Cold weather forces me to use heater almost every time I drive. MPG is dropping because of this.

Again car stood still few days with only miniBMS connected. Drove 28km, maybe used heater a bit. 6.5kWh back into pack.

Using heater drains some available range. I have 4x 1500W ceramic elements in pairs of two. I only use one pair at a time as it is not that cold here yet.

9.2kWh back to the pack. Car stood two weeks as new coupler was being machined and clutch plate getting replaced. I think I mistakenly reset odometer when taking dash apart while motor was off, so total distance may lack miles. Would explain resulting MPG.

Stupid me went and drove kilometer or two when recharge wasn't fully completed. So this time kWh might be off a bit. I suppose full charge took total 9,5kWh from the wall. At least I know how far I went.

80-90km/h most of the time. One cell went below 2.85V at 55km and was driven a bit too low before getting back home. This cell seems to be weakest of the pack as others were not even close to this limit. 9.6kWh used for recharging.

Measured from the wall. Drove 25.5km (15.85 miles) and wattmeter showed 4.3kWh used for topping up the pack.

Calculated using Tools found from top navigation bar. If 1 litre of gasoline equals 8.87kWh and I used 78% of battery capacity (8.64kWh) then I used 0.76 litres of gasoline (or 0.2 gallons). Energy consuption isn't measured "from the wall". Will buy wattmeter some day and measure energy put back to batteries from the wall then.
