The interesting thing about the guess-o-meter is that it predicts your available range under the most current driving conditions. Therefore when you turn on the heat or AC, it will show a significant change in range when each device or system is engaged (especially when the fan is on higher speeds). The Leaf is very well insulated, meaning that the heat or AC does not have to be used continuously to achieve the desired results, rather, it can be toggled, allowing the driver to "extend" their range beyond what the meter indicates. -Tom
