It's still Winter by the Calender, but Spring is in the air, and my range is back up over 100 miles, after the ~95 to ~97 mile results I got in my three previous range tests over this winter.
101.5 miles yesterday, on the same slow/mountain route where I got all of my 100-~113 mile test results I posted last year.

Nothing new, really, to report about my LEAFs range.
I still see no significant loss of range since I began testing in the Summer of 2011, when the correct adjustments are made for variations in battery and ambient trip temperatures.
One interesting note, however, is that the 101.5 miles (odometer) divided by the 6.3 m/kwh (nav screen) should show up on CW as 16.1 kWh used between "100%" and ~VLBW.
This indicates an increase in battery capacity from last January's 15.7 kWh (my all-time low) CW report for the same battery capacity range. This ~2.5% increase in capacity is exactly what I would expect from a ~20 f warmer battery, and the range test results seem to bear out these results.
But it also indicates that the apparent "phantom" loss of capacity I saw over last summer, as shown in my CW kWh use, and nav screen and dash m/kWh reports, but that did not show up on my range test results, has not recurred this year...yet.
