I made the trip and used the all the range that the LEAF had in it.
I made it home with 1 bar remaining and a very low battery warning and 0 miles of range showing on the GOM. I probably could have gotten another 10-20 miles of range if I used the route that wasn't 95% freeway.
my conclusion is that the effective range of the LEAF at highway speeds (65-70 mph) is not very much more than 75-80 miles.
YMMV
