How to interpret the consumption screen

Consumption Screen

Basically, each column will show you how your car performed in 5 minute increments (not distance, just time).

The bar for each 5 minute increment will show your average MPG rating for the period. If you recharged the batteries at all, you will get anywhere from 1/2 a "leaf" to several (the most I've gotten is 4 for a long downhill on the freeway). I guess it's kind of comforting on those periods where I got crummy mileage, I at least banked some electricity for later.

The bar on the far right shows what you're up to at that moment. It's the same as the numerical reading you'll get on the bottom of the Energy screen.

This is the only screen that will show you your current Average MPG for this tank of gas and the distance on this tank. It's a helpful way to tell how much gas you've used.

I hope someone else can add to this! I flip back and forth between this screen and Energy quite often and I never turn off the car without checking how I did for the drive on this screen.

Actually, only what you regenerate is shown. That's the electricity that is created by slowing down or braking.

The recharged isn't included. That's the electricity created by the engine while just driving.
