I've used the driving challenge a few times. It's not terribly useful for anyone already familiar with hypermiling. Others have mentioned the point system flaws, which certainly come into play with DWL on large hills. I'm not even sure what criteria is required for 100% points on acceleration or deceleration - and it's probably not realistic even with good light timing skills.

No SG experience here.

To the benefit of Garmin, their 'driving tips' are extremely practical for the average driver, but are all common sense to EM users who have read the tips.

Piwoslaw has me intrigued about the HD version though.
