EV Range limit is only 86 miles?

I've had back to back 90-199 miles per full charge and yet my EV Range from the GOM never exceeds 86 miles after full charging that follows. Has anyone here started out with an EV Range of more than 86 miles?

I can sympathize Joe, because I've encountered the same garbage in this forum before. Some people would rather ridicule than learn how to use their remarkable vehicle. It is a learning process that have tried to master since my first Prius in 2004 and through two hybrids and two plug-ins and almost 200K. I have hit an estimate of 86 quite a few times in the warm weather and even 87 a couple of times, but I never thought to take a picture. I have also driven 85 and 84 miles twice without an engine start. This is nearly all suburban driving and the average will drop on the Interstate or cold weather. We've been having temps in the 20's and 30's here since before Christmas until yesterday, and when I charged this afternoon the estimate was 80 miles. Last winter it got as low a 76.

So hang in there Joe, because at least one person believes you.

For some reason I had to jump over to FireFox to add a picture.
