There are a couple of threads that describe a way to do this. In summary, set the trip odo to zero. Run the battery down to zero. Then read the amount of energy consumed. The way I have done it is drive until I've got only a few miles left on the "guess-o-meter", then, with the car in my driveway, turn the heater on full blast with the windows rolled down until I get zero range remaining. You could do the entire draw-down test with the heater, but I'd prefer to use the electricity to drive somewhere.
