Yes I am in and have a question

How Far should I practically expect to travel on 8 - 12V Optima 55 AH - 120 reserve min.  Does the rule of thumb apply and I should get about 2 miles per battery for these (abouth 16 miles?).  I believe they are Op ???tima D31's.  I traded 16 of my 6 volts for these with another club member and I am only getting about 4 miles.  I know a couple of them need to be replaced but I want another opinion before I buy some new ones.  I really only need to get about 10 -15 miles for the in-town driving I do and I like them because they are light and the Bradley GT 2 handles much better.   ???

PS - The out of the office issue is solved.
