    Even though "LePrimeSnail" has run well in February, alas he must remain silent since he has not found his tulips!!

    I recall traveling across country right after my starving student days with all of my belongings packed into a small two-wheel tag-along trailer sold by Sears with this trade-name and logo:

    In fuel consumption, I finally made it to the top twenty, but that all goes away soon, for tomorrow is a new month. Looks like I really need to work on my eco dashboard number, if I’m ever going to get my tulips. Easter will be here before you know it. Good luck to all in March trying to achieve better scores.

    Disconnecting MG1 & MG2?
    How are you going to run the engine with no spark?
    Is this just to visit your neglected friend Arco?

    Inquiring minds want to know...

    OK, you want tulips, I've got tulips and more. Sun and rainbow back tomorrow for a full house. Not a bad start for the month.

    I have tulips as well today along with oranges and sheep. All EV so far this month. Washed the baby an hour ago and it is shinny and charging right now. Almost 50 degrees and sunny here today.

    Just an opinion but I think this now 600 post thread has bottomed out and now has an exactly zero signal-to-noise ratio...
    I get excited when people post new questions and experiences about their primes...
    Then depressed when I find out the new content was about tulips and oranges.
    Yea...I'm no fun...

    Toyota made the choice to use cheesy representations of progress. We're just playing their game. Yeah, there's thread drift but that's just like every other thread on this forum. If it keeps people interested in driving economically I see no problem.

    I use adaptive cruise control.

    So my ECO driving score is the score of the car in front of me.

    And if I didn't use adaptive cruise control, it still wouldn't be much different, since I'm in a box between the car in front of me and the car(s) behind.

    Sorta a useless measurement in any populated area during commuting hours.

    Well the crippled Snail is "off the charts"; no more Eco Dashboard dominance for me, at least not in March. The glory of February has brought me Silver, however, and finally some Tulips, with all those oranges, sheep, and the rainbow!
    I'm still passing gas, stations, and will certainly breach 3500 miles since last gas attack in December! I finally had the ICE come on, but could barely hear it, until I hit it hard in traffic. During my gasless phase, when I had plenty of reserve electrons, I sure enjoyed dicing it up with an Audi SUV, hitting up to 79mph, with no gas!! And my Prime didn't even need any probiotics!!. That POS Howdy Doody SUV must have sure been guzzling juice to try to keep up!! Ladies and Germs, it's Prime Time!! Welcome to the future!!
