    After I turn off my car I get an ECO score of 77/100 but when I look at my ECO Dashboard for that same drive it's showing an ECO Driving Score of 18/100, what gives? Thanks.

    Check the time shows on the ECO Dashboard and you'll know why.

    The time on the eco dashboard shows the start of my last drive which is correct, the fuel consumption looks right too, why is the eco driving score so far off?

    Maybe it calculates in the cruise control miles?

    My guess is the score 77 is the last stop to your destination. 18 is the total drive record from ignition on to off for the drive or the record for the day. My son used to impress me with 100 score until I figured out what he was doing.

    unless i'm misunderstanding, I'm pretty sure the 77/100 score is the total score for my drive that's displayed after i turn off the car.

    i do use cruise control for most of my commute, how would that affect my eco score?

    That's what I wonder. Every time I turn off my car, the score displayed on the dashboard is about 85 or higher and usually in the 90's. But when I look on entune app it is always much less, about 40-50s. I wonder why?

    You can check your daily eco score history on the Entune App by clicking/touching the ECO Driving Score box. There you can see how your bad and good days average out to your score. Check the days that other people got to drive your Prius and ban them if necessary.

    My question was, what was heiwa’s son doing to get his scores to 100.
    Finally got my rainbow back today for the first time this month.

    My anecdote is that the eco score at the ignition off is not the average eco score of the day or of the period from your last ignition on to off. My son was driving extremely conservatively from last stop (speed zero) to home (ignition off) which is what the car appears to display when you turn off the ignition.

    Lol am I the only one who can't get it above 80? I usually average in the mid-70's and this is with no AC, seatwarmers, etc

    I'm having the same problem.

    It seems to me the scores on the app are unrelated to the scores in the car. The app scores seem to correlate to how much gas you used on a given day. The days we spent driving interstate (mostly gas) have incredibly low scores on the app, even though we had middling scores in the car.

    Yesterday we drove our daughter to summer camp (7 hours round trip). At the end of all legs of the trip the car gave us eco scores between 77 - 85. I even avoided cruise control to test that theory.

    Today, the app shows a eco score of 18 for the day, with 58.2 mpg (pretty good for highway driving over ~450 miles).

    Sorry to reopen this old thread, but I figured out what's going on with the ECO score difference displayed at power off and the score you see on the app afterwards.

    Example, you take "only one" non-stop drive between mid-night and the next mid-night. Power off the car and record thew score, then check the ECO score on the app and it's different. You would expect they would be the same in that controlled example. They may or may not be. Here's why.

    In my case I had been getting 98's, 99's on the MID display at power off and similar scores on the app each day for a couple of years. Then it all changed last month and I could not get better that 86 or 87 on the app. This went on for a couple of weeks and then I noticed I'd somehow moved to "normal" drive mode from "ECO" drive mode. I switched back to ECO and my scores came back to being much closer.

    Apparently there are many factors like A/C or heat settings that impact the score you see on the MID screen when you power off, but the "drive mode" settings are not applied to that score, but are taken into consideration on the score on the app.

    I find it odd that they'd do it this way, but you can test this yourself. Note the app score is calculated for all the driving in that 24hr period so your test would have to be over more than one day. For example, drive all of one day in PWR mode and compare, then the next day in Normal, then the next day in ECO.

    This drove me crazy for a couple of weeks.
