Do you also notice more bars than when it's blue?

On mine, it's purple for 1-2 bars, blue for 3-6 bars, and green for 7-8 bars (well, I've never been up to eight bars, but I do get to seven on a regular basis).

What do you have to do to get the bars all the way to the top! I can get it up to "1 to go" but have never got to the top. Drove from florida to New York once a two day trip with about 10 hours on the road the first day and still couldn't get that final bar to show!

I've gotten it twice, only when going downhill (a lot), but I live in the mountains.
