It will always be a 10-12 gallon tank. However, my Leaf won't always have 12 capacity bars. I know this and I knew it when I got the car and I'm ok with that. But it needs to be on the sheet just like the difference between summer and winter. So the EPA estimated range should be summer year 1, winter year 1, summer year 2, winter year 2 and so on. This is why when I talk to people about buying a Leaf I don't talk about off the lot 75-100 miles. I talk about 50-60 miles at the end of the lease/loan. Given Weatherman's estimated capacity chart I should be at Nissan's battery end of life (70% capacity) at just under 10 years. 70% of 70 miles is 49 miles. I'm averaging 44 right now and in 2014 I'm down to transporting 1 kid instead of 2 and the office moves to 1 mile from the house. 49 miles is just fine for me. Is anyone still driving the car they had 10 years ago? I know I'm not and I'm proud of it.<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03051265454416814977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3022888953328060401.post-45742349785769638462012-12-08T11:23:52.167-08:002012-12-08T11:23:52.167-08:00sure. just tell them where u got itsure. just tell them where u got itDaveinOlyWAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16745403231379474738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3022888953328060401.post-24994532445259130102012-12-08T11:22:37.235-08:002012-12-08T11:22:37.235-08:00can I repost this to the NWSG website?can I repost this to the NWSG website?Robert Grothehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05919744806767445220noreply@blogger.com
