We like sheep... on the ECO Dashboard

Check Mark out. He all of a sudden has a sheep....just saying....

 

After someone ate, er borrowed my previous herd, I had my new ones Lo-jacked!

 

Has someone already posted what the best driving method to use to get your eco driving score into the high 90’s? Thx, Ben

 

Did you enjoy the "rack of lamb"?!! Har, har.
My OCD has kicked into high gear with this Eco foolishness!

Hey, you've got to find a midway charging station, so you can remain on electric; all you have to do is waste another hour or so to top off your battery!! OCD all the way!! You'll eventually get your oranges, rainbow, and sheep back!! Ain't seen no tulips, though!

Yeah, 72°, and still no flippen' rain; long winter!!. Help me, I'm dying...gasp, gasp. And my REAL orange tree still has some fruit left, in spite of some varmint hollowing out a dozen oranges, and me picken' 'em for myself and my neighbors!

Probably. I use the Intelligent Drive Coach. If you can learn to follow its recommendations you will get a high ECO score. It's a struggle and is very conservative, but if you do it enough, you will improve. Keep in mind, if you are in traffic, its acceleration may be too slow to be safe. It's also picky about real life stopping. You don't always have a heads up to slow down 100 yards early, etc.

 

That's my problem here in the very dense traffic situation we have; you never have enough lead time to come to a very gradual stop. on the other hand due to the high traffic density, you're driving slowly and since I drive on surface streets you get fantastic fuel economy for the electric mode. My current EV range is 35 miles!
BTW, I'm 100% on POWER MODE, and found this to be a great way to enjoy, "Zippy", my Prime, with apparent negative impact!

Even with the recent very cold 18° temps I was able to squeeze about 28 miles of actual EV. Preheat temp, garaged, no cabin heat, 45 mph max, rural roads, light traffic @ 5am. I also stay off the highway unless we're going somewhere.

In both my 2010 and Prime, I stayed in full ECO mode. You can accomplish the same in PWR depending on how your foot is trained. I was always a bit more tempted to be bad in PWR mode. EV is definitely more fun to drive than HV.

 

Well-trained foot, and of course, 57°-77° F temperatures really help the range. I don't use heat of any kind and A/C very rarely, and running EV mode strictly on electricity, my dash MPG stays at 199.9. You just can't beat it with a stick!

I have an upcoming ~500 mile same day trip about every 6 weeks and weekly 130 mile trips so I get to practice hypermiling in HV as well. It's a challenge to do those and stay high on either of the lists.

 

Wow, today the sun came out without losing anything else.

 

Ah the never ending saga of Sam the Sheepdog and Ralph the Wolf...Will there ever be peace in the pasture?

 

A truly Classic Cartoon. Love it when they each punch their time cards!!
Those were the days of GREAT cartoons!
We need 'em here on the Eco Dashboard!

Yesterday, the sun came back. Today, my second sheep came back. I had to use the "sheep finder" tool in the Entune App Suite to locate him. He'd been offered a bunch of freebies if he attended some fake seminar in Michigan. Somewhere near Clawson I think. Why in the heck you you want to go to Michigan in January beats me.

I suppose I'll get a rainbow tomorrow?

 

That is how you get fleeced.

 

Awwww, makes sense. He was lucky.

 

@Mark57 no sunshine, rainbow or sheep in Clawson


but I do have Tulips though

 

Ok, so how do you get to Silver Status? I’ve got everything except those tulips.
