With my plus (and not riding with impatient family) I try to keep it within one bar of power (this is on the new dash, not the old Leaf). 1 bar can keep you at low freeway speeds.

Aggressive acceleration isn't the best thing for any battery and the higher the current, the higher the resistance so gentle acceleration will boost your efficiency dramatically. This is why I drive Eco all the time. In fact, its the ONLY mode that I use all the time. E Pedal I love but its not always engaged. D mode is used the least, B mode is at least 75% of the time, but Eco is always on simply because it smoothes the power demand spikes that may be fun to do but is wasteful and detrimental to range.

Already sounds better than a 40kwh pack.

637 miles
3.8 miles/kWh.
About 25% highway driving.
We had a warmer week with days above 50F in Chicago which pushed up efficiency for the month.
