Given the low miles and Seattle not being in a desert, I don't think I've lost any. I should check it one of these days.LEAFfan said:

I get well above 4.2 when I don't use heater & well under 4.2 when I do.DaveinOlyWA said:

November mileage:
Wall-to-wheels: 3.86 miles/kWh
Dash: 4.7 miles/kWh
My mileage continues to decline with the cooler weather but the Fall has been very warm, dry and mild thus far.
Notes: Some preheating used, so charging efficiency can't be calculated. Driving temperatures were mostly 30s, 40s, and 50s with some 20s, and 60s (it's that time of the year again: wide temperature variation). Battery temps of four bars most of the time with five bars after driving at highway speeds or climbing hills. Elevation range: 8,000 feet to 5750 feet. All driving includes steep hills. No multi-lane highway driving at all. Some of the driving is on dirt roads.
My monthly numbers from the wall:
January 3.23 miles/kWh
February 3.29
March 3.57
April 3.97
May 4.36
June 4.48
July 4.41
August 4.46
September 4.30
October 4.07
November 3.86
Cumulative total: 3.99 miles/kWh
The weather (and pre-heating) effect is quite apparent. If I drove freeways—there aren't any within LEAF range here—I would expect my mileage numbers to be somewhat lower and closer to the EPA estimate. If I lived at sea level they would be sharply lower. If I lived in the flatlands they would be higher.

I've had my LEAF for just over 3 weeks now & yesterday on my drive home I noticed my dash told me I had 5.1 m/kw for my 37 miles I drove! 
And with only 5 bars the GOM was saying 55 miles to go. It was from just driving around town like normal, nothing intentional .
When I first got my LEAF I seemed to get about 3.4 m/kw and I've slowly been changing my driving habits. The main things that seem to help my range is no jack rabbit starts (but the LEAF kicks it off the line!) and hitting my cruise control at the speedlimit when in town (mostly 30 & 40 mph) this help keep me from weaving traffic to race up to a traffic light.
After having to charge to 100% the first couple of weeks to get my normal driving range, I'm now finding that 80% gets me home with 15-20 miles left on my battery pack. Of course it's unusually warn in TN right now & once I start having to run the heater I'll probably have to L1 charge at work, if for nothing more than preheat capability :mrgreen:
Love my LEAF!

December mileage:
Wall-to-wheels: 3.69 miles/kWh
Dash: 4.4 miles/kWh
My mileage continues to decline with the onset of cold weather; the latter half of December was very cold and rather snowy—it was a "white Christmas" here.
Notes: Some preheating used, so charging efficiency can't be calculated. Driving temperatures were mostly "teens", 20s, and 30s with some single digits plus and minus, and 40s. Battery temps of four bars most of the time with five bars after driving at highway speeds or climbing hills and three bars once when parked in the cold. Elevation range: 8,000 feet to 5750 feet. All driving includes steep hills. No multi-lane highway driving at all. Some of the driving is on dirt roads.

Below are my CW monthly averages since delivery, from the “Regional Rankings” page.
While the month–to-month variations are largely explicable by variations in my driving patterns, the overall energy efficiency increase reported over time is not.
As you can see, my average increase in reported efficiency is probably pretty close to 20% year-over-year. In fact, while I drive to the same destinations as I did in 2011, I have altered my driving patterns significantly, but I’m sure all of you realize what it would take to produce an efficiency increase of this magnitude, which IMO, is far greater than can be explained by the changes in my driving patterns.
I believe this further reinforces my range test results, indicating a significant error in my LEAFs m/kWh reports, under-reporting my LEAF’s energy use by up to 10% over the Summer of 2012 as compared to my LEAFs energy use reports over the Summer of 2011, as reported at:
http://www.mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=9064" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
In other words, I think it most likely that up to half of the efficiency increase reported below is actually due to “gauge error”.

White 2013 SV, carwings is always high, my car nick name = 13AZsolar
I will have to reset my miles counter etc to get perfect stats
Month : March-2011
a. 371 Miles
b. 82 kWh (Wall - Blink)?
c. 4.5 Miles/kWh (Wall)?
d. 6.1 Miles/kWh (Leaf)
e. 6.8 Miles/kWh (CarWings)
f. $ 0.0 I have a 4 Kw GRID Tied system that runs our LEAF and 100% Elec HOME and gets paid by the utiltiy 1,000 Kwh extra/yr
g. 00 Cents/Mile

Month : MAR-2013
a. 683.8 Miles
b. 175 kWh (Wall - reconditioned electrical meter)
c. 3.91 Miles/kWh (Wall)
d. N/A Miles/kWh (Leaf)
e. N/A Miles/kWh (CarWings)
f. $19.25
g. 2.8 Cents/Mile
Charging Voltage: 240
Cost Equivalent mpg: 132*
This represents a partial month (approximately half) and my first month reporting. I got my Leaf in late February, and didn't have my wall meter installed until a week or so into March. I didn't reset the dash data, so I don't have that to report for this month, and I don't have Carwings on my "S" model. I think it's pretty clear that the dash-reported mi/kWh is highly optimistic, however.
I thought it might be interesting to report the charging voltage, as I understand that 240V charging is more efficient than 120V.
*The U.S. national weekly averages for a gallon of regular gasoline for the four weeks in March 2013 are $3.759, $3.710, $3.696, and $3.680, yielding a monthly average of $3.711.
(3.711$/gal) / (.028$/mi.) = 132 mpg (cost equivalent).

March mileage:
Wall-to-wheels: 4.00 miles/kWh
Dash: 4.8 miles/kWh
March was unseasonably warm here. That plus some effort at hypermiling increased my mileage to near Summer levels.
Notes: Some preheating used, so charging efficiency can't be calculated. Driving temperatures were mostly 30s, 40s, and 50s with some 20s, and low 60s. Battery temps of four bars most of the time with five bars after driving at highway speeds or climbing hills. Elevation range: 8,000 feet to 5750 feet. All driving includes steep hills. No multi-lane highway driving at all. Some of the driving is on dirt roads.
[Total mileage over 9406 miles, measured from the wall: 3.83 miles/kWh]
The weather (and pre-heating) effect is quite apparent. If I drove freeways—there aren't any within LEAF range here—I would expect my mileage numbers to be somewhat lower and closer to the EPA estimate. If I lived at sea level they would be sharply lower. If I lived in the flatlands they would be higher.

Wow your performance is very good. mine only improved because of 5+ MPK performances 4 of last 5 days of March as well
http://daveinolywa.blogspot.com/2013/04/mar-2013-drive-report.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
but only did 4.28 on the dash (up from 4.14) and 3.73 from "wall" problem with that is dash figure includes public charging but dont know efficiency of DCFCs so the wall thing is at best a guess.
