    You have to offer those sheep some pure EV miles and they will return.

    Ah man, sheep are overrated!! They've got to offer us some better animals; now cats, on the other hand are great!
    And I still haven't seen those pretty little flowers; I am just NOT Eco Correct, I guess! 20180110_072742.jpg

    Sheep can be bullied around by a mouse. Cats don't give a flip. :p

    Got my car in Dec. of 2017 and still no tulips. I have oranges and sheep. Guess I have to work a little harder to get my eco score in the 90’s. Prime on!

    There's no way I seem to be able to break 90 on the Eco Dashboard!! Even after a single, continuous drive, where my Dash Eco reads 92+, after shutdown, the best reading that I've gotten is 87!! What gives? I think I'm doomed because of having to keep up with ambient traffic, and sudden, frequent signal light changes.

    I believe I was the person who started this discussion thread and I did not get the tulips until much, much later. It was someone else in this thread who made me aware of them.

    Now it's that last "ECO Challenge" trophy award -- the ECO Status -- which I can't seem to get to. (The other four trophies for ECO Master, ECO Warrior, Eco Expert and Mobile Wizard, all have three bars under them, but only two bars under ECO Status.)

    It says "ECO Status gauges your overall ECO performance. Achieving and maintaining the highest ECO Status level (Gold) can help you earn the 'ECO Status' trophy."

    My ECO Status level remains SILVER, but by now my OCD Status must be at least platinum.

    Lost all my delicious oranges yesterday, back to orange blossoms on the tree. Took a 130 mile trip, that I switched between EV and HV mode, that yielded 68mpg.

    They usually come up around the end of March or early April around here. February is a bit early, don't you think?

    The orange tree in my backyard already has many blooms; oranges will be ready to pick in December! So sweet, juicy, and GIANT, the size of grapefruit!

    Well, the LePrimeSnail is going to be disappearing from the Eco Dashboard in March; I've decided to let the petrochemical industry get into my wallet for a brief blast of my ICE component!! It's been since December of last year since I've been to the Petrol Pusher!! Over 3400 miles of gas free driving (make all your snide comments here!)!!
    I love my zippy Prime!!

    I’m going to hunt for the gas filler release in the next few weeks. I’m down to about 1/4 tank of the dealer supplied gas from 11/9/17.

    The EGO is MONSTROUS; coupled with OCD, there's no way I was going to sit back!! Well, I've made my statement; it's time to TRY to return to sanity! And, Arco misses me!!
