My commute *is* highway miles. I drove naturally this morning, not looking at the w/mile, but also not driving abnormally aggressively either. I was going 75-80mph at times.

At work I looked and the 27 mile trip averaged 369 w/mile. That's 211 range total for the full battery. Using 70% of the battery (85-15%) that's 147 miles total.

EDIT: I do go up and back down a decent sized hill on the commute.. But I do also go back down it. This isn't a 1-way hill climb.

It's the same commute and driving style where the e46 is averaging 26 MPG and the Colorado is 20 MPG
