Show us yer trees!

So my wife was sniggering at my concentration the other day as I went quiet for a few miles as I was on course for a new record...



but then a few days later...



As she pointed out the main reason I'm loving the Leaf is that it is less of a car to get excited about, and more of a massive gadget with high scores to be achieved! It definitely encourages my competitive side which can only be a good thing. Next challenge is to do a clear 100mile + run on a single charge, I've done a mid 80s run before with 12% left when I got home...

So is it just me or are you lot quietly competing with your dashboard scores?

I play a slightly different game, on my commute I try to see how far I can get on 100% then on 99% it's landmarks I hit and I get incredibly pleased if I get past my best distance landmark. 100% is the local school about 1.4 miles away.

I'm getting some good performance out of the car but this is the one thing I can't do!

By the time I've reversed out my drive, travelled 0.3 miles in a 20 limit road, pulled out of a junction onto a 40mph road in 0.4 miles I've dropped 1% then 0.3 miles later I've lost another. My first 3 miles every morning costs me 6% without fail, then I seem to make up for it and then it ends up being roughly 10 miles for 12% which isn't too bad.

I did have a slightly more grand day out last week though; 337 miles in 2 days in rural-electricity-supposedly-only-just-discovered-up-here-in-Scotland:
