    1 - 3 Agreed
    4. No change, monthly reset and the fist day I drove that month used some gas. EV only each day after.
    5 - 6 Agreed

    Excellent analysis! I'll burn gas again tomorrow so we'll see what that does to me.

    I think Silver status has a time element to it as well as performance. My fist driving day was Sept 14th. I was Bronze on my last monthly driving day, Dec 29th, and started out Silver on my first driving day of Jan on the 3rd. That's also when the tulips arrived.

    Doing my taxes is going to be a piece of cake after reading these last few posts this morning.

    You are starting to sound like @bwilson4web but without the means to prove your hypotheses. ;)

    DOING your taxes this year will certainly take a lot MORE time, care, and thinking than went into the creation of this new tax REVISION (It's certainly not a TAX REFORM!). Lord help us all!

    That does not change the tax prep due in April 2018. It applies to the tax return you must file for April 2019.

    sounds like my tulips might bloom in March along with the tulips out in my yard. Just hope our Oregon slugs don’t eat the tulips!

    Assuming your fertilizer (ECO rating) is good enough. ;)

    It's the "BS" that makes them grow . . .

    Question is... what do you get when you get Gold status? (Has anyone gotten that?)

    My point exactly; I guess I was being TOO subtle, like a bull in a china shop!

    If anyone has, they've not said so or posted a screen shot. I'm guessing it's also time dependent.

    When you say time dependent, do you mean per month (so it's more likely to get gold status at the end of the month) or the length of ownership of the vehicle (so it's something you build over a longer period of time)?

    I think it's based more on length or accumulation of scores over time, but not in one single month. Silver status seemed to work that way for me.

    I had to burn gas today. I'm so ashamed. It caused me to lose a sheep, but nothing else. I got 103.1 mpg over 145 miles, but this is a real tough crowd to please even with an overall ECO score of 85. Started at 31° and ended at 51° with bothersome 25 mph side winds.
