    Sorry to sound dumb here, but I don't know what the green cars or the blue columns mean when I am watching the energy monitor. It sure is fun to watch it though. Now for another dumb question, how do I get the screen on another display besides the energy monitor?

    Been three days and loving it. 48 mpg on display so far.

    That's the amount of regen you have done in the five minute intervals. Press consumption/energy on the lower left hand corner of the mfd.

    ...Each car = 50 watt-hours of power re-generated, and each five minute blue column represents a "five minute picture" of your mpg, rightmost being the immediate past five, and so on to the left...

    Glad you love it, but then again how could you not... :)

    Peace
