    When I look at the info screen to check my current gas mileage, I notice several car/leaf symbols. Some are complete, some are not. What do these symbols mean and why are some only half of the symbol and some are fully complete? Just curious.....

    The multi-information display section of your manual (section 2-7 for the 2004 manual) covers this in detail.

    Briefly, each full leaf represents 50Wh of energy reclaimed during regenerative braking. Half of a symbol represents ~25Wh.

    M first response is that the half-leaves mean that it would be nice to have a convertible.

    But after some searching, I've come up with this thread:

    You should scroll a bit. The discussion sort of bobs and weaves but eventually answers your question.
