My lifetime average is 299. In the warm months I average 294. Winter is in DC metro area - pretty flat - a a mix of suburban and freeway. Summer is in rural Quebec - mix of freeway and country roads many of which are dirt so this surprises me. I don't hyper mile but I'm probably reasonably conservative in the way I drive (no more than 10 over the limit in general).Nobody is going to see ~300 Wh/mile highway on a MX except in near-hypermiling conditions on dead-flat Dutch roads with no traffic, lights, stops, wind, or weather.
Now what I get may be of some interest as an example but what is really of interest is what the fleet shows as that's what OP should expect. As noted above that's 86% of EPA range in the colder months and 96% in the warmer. 3% of drivers do better than I do.
I usually just charge when convenient. Range anxiety is something I don't understand. I guess I have gone as far as 240 miles on a single charge without anxiety so I suppose that's the practical range for me though most trips are usually shorter. Chargers are so thick where I drive that there's often an opportunity to top off even if you don't have to.Actually, my S75 and X100D have essentially the same practical range -- about 180 miles, or 200 miles in a pinch without any range anxiety.
A new driver would do well to familiarize himself with the causes of high consumption and to monitor the consumption graphs while he is driving in order to learn what he does that raises consumption and what mother nature does to raise consumption.
