Just like all auto companies they Fudge the numbers so much in the beginning by the time the real #'s come out people ignore them

According to the U.S. EPA,

The Tesla gets 244 miles (393 km) on a single charge

Tesla Roadster - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Leaf is 27% Less than it originally advertised they only get 73mpg as per EPA

Tesla Roadster - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mini Electric well I couldn't find a EPA sticker rating oddly enough but from the 3 mins of research I keep hearing it only gets 70mpg - a Best of 100 miles per charge
