I've been making a note of the miles/kWh on a regular journey I do, and have noticed not only the effect of temperature, but also traffic.
In the early hours of the morning, with no traffic and traffic lights on traffic control, I can travel 3 miles and get upto 4.7 m/kWh on a good day (4.3 average). During the day with stop start traffic and lights, I get 3.5 m/kWh at best (3.3 average).
This shows that if you can get to a constant speed and hold it with the cars forward momentum, you will get the best performance. The greatest drain on the battery is acceleration.
Edit: That's a straight road with no gradients.
