    Hi guys,
    I'm now getting consistent "Start" and "Stop" scores of 4 and 5, but I haven't figured out how to get my Cruise score above 2 or 3. Any tips would be great.
    Thanks all.

    I'm still on my first tank, but I've noticed if I instantly ease off accelerator when I reach desired speed i get better scores Maintain speed with the lowest setting. Use ECO mode. I need help on stops.

    All the best.

    I get good cruise numbers when keeping the green line slightly above the EV line. Drive like you'll blow up if you accelerate too much or too quickly.

    I once got 4 bar when I drove around my neighborhood in about 21 mph. You just have to maintain constant speed for a longer period of time.

    This morning when I was leaving my neighborhood I drove a block away from my house, and then stopped at the stop sign. I had 5 bars for a start, nothing for a cruising and 5 bars for a stop and my eco score went to freaking 96!!! The best before that was 5/4/5 and the eco score was 92. Have no clue how this thing works...
