. drove it for 54 miles and it was showing another 50 left. Very Impressed. Car wings tells me Im doing 3.7 Miles / KW.

Something doesn't seem right here. With 3.7 miles/kWh efficiency i don't believe one can get 54+50=104 miles range. More like 75 miles I would think.
mkjayakumar said:Well Tony, agreed that GoM is inaccurate quite a bit when you start full, but gets better as you drive. At 3.5 miles/kWh driving for 50 odd miles it would show around 25 miles remaining, which is close enough.

Yes, I have done fairly extensive testing, and confirmed that the GOM can be reasonably accurate roughly between 2 and 7 bars. That said, I have to agree with Tony and Tom. This approach will only work on flat terrain, and with a consistent driving style. On the other hand, if you don't take the mileage estimate literally, but as a cue, it might be useful in conjunction with the energy economy gauge, as some owners in Seattle have reported.mkjayakumar said:Well Tony, agreed that GoM is inaccurate quite a bit when you start full, but gets better as you drive.

Maybe they were going downhill for a bit or the 3.7 mpk number was lifetime, and not trip-based.mkjayakumar said:With all that said, there cannot be a situation where one drives at 3.7 kWh for 54 miles and the GoM shows 50 remaining. I cannot believe anyone could get those 3 numbers lined up. That was my point.

For older LEAFs, you must have the "telematics connection fix" applied from last year (NTB-11-041)... the "voluntary recall" from early 2012, NTB12-014, regrettably does not fix the bad CARWINGS kWh reporting. (The undocumented bug causes higher efficiency than reality to be reported to CARWINGS.)LEAFfan said:Some people have claimed that CWs is more accurate now since the software update, but I've talked to people that have had it and they said that they see little or no change.

If you want a more accurate m/kW h, use your car's dash number, not CWs. Some people have claimed that CWs is more accurate now since the software update, but I've talked to people that have had it and they said that they see little or no change.
So if the dash had read the same, 3.7m/kW h, you could have gone about 75-78 miles (from your 100% charge) until Turtle if you kept it at 3.7 the whole time.
