Lifetime Average Wh/mi

Here are my stats to date. All but a couple 100 miles or so of the 4,712 "A" miles were my two week trip to California and back in mid March with a lot of freeway driving at 70-80 mph, all on 19" Haka 7's.

I call the Haka 7's my Rice Krispie tires; they drew some curious attention in Southern California with their sound, especially on the silent MS. :wink:

Update:

It's been a while. Winter was hard on the efficiency numbers. 19,653 miles, 340 wh/mi lifetime, 60kwh, 19" wheels

Additional notes:

I have been keeping track of this winter's stats. About 14,000 miles during winter at 368 wh/mi. The wh/mi seems to have peaked. Max was 370 wh/mi. It's starting to come down as the weather warms. I will be doing the "big reset" on trip A for summer average in a few days (4-15-14). I was running winter tires (19") which may have added to the usage.

Addition data to fill in the gaps, sorry for the scattershot it's based on random pictures taken (Trip B Lifetime Wh/mi):
-9-22-13 - 4521 Miles - 270 wh/mi
-12-2-13 - 9744 Miles - 292 wh/mi
-12-13-13 - 10667 miles - 298 wh/mi
-1-14-14 - ****miles - *** wh/mi - Winter Tires installed - 19" Rial Lugano w/Michelin X-Ice Xi3
-1-28-14 - 14420 miles - 327 wh/mi
-1-29-14 - 14511 miles - 328 wh/mi
-2-28-14 - 16393 miles - 339 wh/mi
-3-8-14 - 17475 miles - 340 wh/mi - Winter Tires Removed - Back to Tesla Std. 19" w/Goodyears
-4-4-14 - 19653 miles - 340 wh/mi

Heating the car comfortably is what is really pushing the energy usage up.

The 60s seem to have pretty low numbers. Why are the 60s more efficient, is it due to weight?

No the 60s drive more like grandfathers :) :). When I had a 60 loaner I did only see a minimal difference. However I am sure this depends very much on driving type. I would assume the 85s take more hit due to their weight on stop and go and it would make less difference on the highway.

Update 4/4/2013 27.330 miles 352 lifetime average. Minimal fluctuation here in Florida, we only had a few cold days.

P85 21's
 
Utah update:
85 kWh standard, 19" wheels with original goodyear tires, 7200 miles, 351 wh/mi lifetime.
A lot of back and forth 5-10 mile trips in Utah's winter definitely drives up the wh/mi average.
