Well I could tell you the range I get but my commute is not the norm if you live anywhere remotely flat.
I posted a 63.x MPG tank on the Prius the week of me buying the Leaf.
My commute is about 15 miles one way with lots of hills, lots of speed variation, no chance for controlled hypermiling in the extreme sense. I have to use the slow speeds at each end of the trip to take advantage of the EV and keep speed up (drive with load style) for the hills.
As to my Leaf I still have these junky Goodyear tires on it that are NOT LRR. The dash shows 4.6 miles / kWh as my average on the commute but I expect that will change for the better when I change the tires/rims.
It's on my to do list. Not sure how many weeks or months away that change will be but since these tires have crummy wet and snow traction I want to change before things cool off.
Oh, and I'm still playing with that speedometer calibration before I do anything else I'm trying to figure out if that is actually changing things to be more or less accurate.
