Sounds normal for the difference in temperatures (ambient and battery) between the various times when you viewed the estimated range.

I guess if you add in the recharge at home on my return then the total cost was around £20-£22 for the 600 mile trip. In my Any one of the other available diesel cars I guess it would have been more like 90 litres at £1.20 so a substantial saving in fuel. The Northampton stop could have been cheaper as the cost was £0.45 per kWh . It was the only ‘fast’ charger around so I had to use it.
Understand the cold battery scenario as well. My heater (or renamed now to A/C) hardly makes an difference to the range strangely?
I achieved an average of 4.1 miles per kWh over the journey.
ACC is the way to go on Motorways. Just set it to 65 mph and let it do the work. Indicate to pull out around trucks and it accelerates nicely until another vehicle is in front then it matches the speed again. The ACC is exposing my awful driving habits! It will resist me changing lanes unless I indicate first...

Hi Doug, thanks for the reply - total journey miles and cost!
4.1 miles per kWh sounds good, so total range approx. 238 miles.

4.1 sounds promising, better than anything I have achieved. (3.7 being best)
Yes ACC does expose your habits, I found that out in my Tiguan as I had both ACC and lane control.. it also exposed my wife's tailgating habits that we've 'debated' for years. I thought I'd find the Automatic change of speed when passing through different speed zones annoying but I actually find the whole thing quite relaxing now.. My only issue is with a section near me where there used to be a National speed limit section of a few hundred yards in between two 30 zones. The whole section is 30 now but the car doesn't know that and still surges to 60 if allowed.
