Why slow down just to save a little money and maybe annoy everyone else on the road? I’d love to get 3.8 mi/kWh. I only manage around 3.4, especially this time of year.
My lifetime average is 3.5, but I’ve gotten close to 300 miles on a full charge.

That math doesn’t add up.
@Reagan
Are you sure you’re getting around 300 miles per charge, or are you just going off the range estimate? If your lifetime efficiency is 3.5 mi/kWh, you won’t be getting close to 300 miles. Even with 66kWh, you’d only hit around 166 miles. Maybe you’ve been doing more city driving, so the range estimate is higher?
@Casey
I’ve never reset the trip meter, so this is based on almost a year of driving. I bought the car new last November with just 4 miles on it. I always run the heat or AC, so that might explain it.

That math still doesn’t add up.
Your tires are going to wear out faster if you keep this up, but at least the car is living up to its name!
