Yup I am measuring it from the wall using Kilowatt meter, without running the heater. On a normal, traffic ridden commute I use 290 wh/mi, but I now have a better route with less traffic and that brought it down to 268 wh/mi from the wall. This is 75% at 45 MPH and 25% at 30-35 MPH with stop and go.

I am hoping the inflated tires will give improvement (they did with my last EV) and I can probably do some more adjusting of the suspension.
