ezryder said:As for range, I've hit 95 miles on one trip, due to traffic. The next time I did the same trip - doing 70-75 most of the way - I got only 70 miles out of it. Outside of that trip, my numbers are always in the 4's or even 5's, kw's. Or is it kwh's? I really can't wrap my head around all of that, for some reason. Amps, watts, kw, kwh...
Do you ever take it on the highway? Ever get above 50mph? With those kinds of miles, you almost have to be. I drive in L all the time - including the highway. I try not to go over 60-70; mostly 60-65. I hit 5.x regularly, but just short trips to the store a mile away, kind of thing. I'm happy to be in the mid-high 4's on a normal drive. I think my commute today was 4.8- and that's up a few miles of steep and hill, and back down again, both ways.nozferatu said:17000 miles, 5.5 miles/kWh, 1 year of ownership.

5.5 miles/kWh... how are you getting that value? The OnStar app only shows miles and MPGe. If you're reading it off the dash, isn't that only since your last start? It's not that I'm doubting you; I'm just trying to understand.

I drive a lot of freeway miles. Probably about 70%..and yes I cruise at around 65 most of the time.
I'm not light footed. I don't drive aggressively but I do step on it quite often.
My method is to feather much of the time in L and while accelerating try and keep the kW below 10-15. But I gun it often as it's too fun not to.
My OnStar shows 151 MPGe since inception. But on 60-70 mile trips it also shows 175-210 MPGe often.
I'm very happy with my mileage and I rarely get below 102 miles of range after full charge.
ezryder said:I'm still trying to figure out how OnStar can give you a 175-210 MPGe on a 60-70 mile trip, going 65 mph. I'm thinking it must be 2014, and if so, wow, I wish I was able to find a 2014 when I leased mine, (I tried to find one, but they were all gone in late January). My tires are at 33, cold. Maybe I should goose them to 35? Right now I'm showing 155 MPGe against 61 miles, most of which were under 50 mph - though about 10 miles of it was up a steep hill and another 10 down the same hill. But my lifetime MPGe is 133.
ezryder said:Where are you getting that over the last 7,000 miles you're averaging 5.6kWh? I don't have that information on the OnStar app. Is what you see on the dash a lifetime #? I thought it was just since resetting the trip odometer.
