I was not going to rip into the dash like that. Hes a brave man. It is kinda low but Its not bad for me. I sit pretty far back due to being 6 foot tall and kind of lanky. Its in my lower vision and I figured the replacement cost for that little button cover would be minimal if I didnt like it. The dash mod is a one time deal.... The glow it puts out is easy to see even when your not looking directly at it.
My first trip got 40.6! The other tanks (without it) varied from 32 to 37 mpg. (Geocaching is hard on mileage, lots of idle time.)
It really shows how you drive. In traffic driving "normal" like everybody else, it hardly ever lit, and not for long. Being conservative with the throttle really made it light up. I did notice you have to accelerate lightly down hills to keep it lit, as soon as you back completely off the gas it goes out.
I need a scanguage to tell if its better to have it in eco mode or just come completely off the gas on hills. I have a feeling its better to get completely off the gas, what do you think?
