I am not a hyper miler or right lane driver, I drive it for fun like a regular car and get under 50 miles range with daily 80% charge which I use primary to extend the battery life. I am not using A/C, so once the weather gets colder I expect to get even less then that.
My story is very similar to yours and had Nissan offered 20 miles (four bars) more range for ~ $5K, I would have gladly taken it, even if it added 100 lbs of weight to the vehicle. I can understand why they haven't offered it though and I look forward to the new and greatly improved battery modules they announced for 2015. Other than that, I continue to be impressed with the LEAF and its competitive pricing.
