My tree just grew it’s second branch between 1400-1430 miles (the screen seen after shutting off the car). YAY! When is everyone else hitting this milestone?
If I was the only driver I might be tempted to go after the data too. But there’s no way I’d ever get my spouse to participate.Ha, yes - definitely a new thing for me with this car. This car gives me more data than my prior cars, and well... I'm a big data geek (among many other flawed qualities!). I half-blame @hasarad because part of my tracking started after replicating and expanding the mileage spreadsheet shared in this 'mileage accuracy' thread.
If it's the tank you got from the dealer, it was likely short-filled. If you run actual numbers, don't be disappointed if they're much lower than the indicated mileage. I starting tracking actual mpg at my first fill-up.New owner as well and totally baffled by the trees.
Still on tank 1 and sitting at 300 miles in my Touring and average is showing 45.5 mpg. Pretty happy with that.
I've seen "few leaves" show up when my drive is too short or if my acceleration is aggressive. Despite your generous regen approach, I think the Eco score also looks at how much gas is used and over what distance.I find myself settling on Range and Economy. I consider myself 'aggressively' using the paddle's to get as much regen as possible. I try to NEVER let the Charge meter get to the max while braking (because if it does then the next step is mechanical braking (wasteful) right?)
I'm consistently hitting 50mpg in city driving, pretty good right?
So why then why I turn off the car I get the "ECO Rating" and it shows 1/2-1 green leaf? What do I gotta do to get 3 Green Leafs? PUSH it?![]()
The leaf petals sort of correspond with what lifetime level you're currently at.I find myself settling on Range and Economy.

Doogie
You haven’t maxed your tree score yet?? I maxed out at 5650 miles or so and earned the trophy! I might reset it but that sure is a convoluted way to do it.....On another note, at 7k, my oil life monitor is still saying 50% :surprise: Based on that, I shouldn’t need an oil change until 13k which is crazy but cool....saves our precious resources and my pocketbook.Also just to double check... are you referring to improving your score on the top row or bottom row of leaves?
The bottom row has 3 leaf levels and tracks your cumulative "Lifetime Score." You'll see it gradually progress from left to right as you put more total miles on the car. I transitioned from the 'one leaf' to the 'two leaves' on this bottom row at 1330 miles on the odometer.
The top row tracks your recent "Drive Score" for the trip you just completed before turning the car off. There are 5 stems and 3 leaf levels possible for each stem. It's been a while, but if I recall correctly from the first few drives, I only got one level leaves in the top row until I had more miles on my car. Not sure if this was because my driving improved or if that's how the score starts out... but now if I drive a route that the car doesn't consider too short to score (and I'm not lead-footed), I get 5 stems and 3 leaf levels at the end of each drive in the top row.
I like seeing this 'feedback' at the end of a drive, so I plan to reset this using the attached instructions, if/when I finally reach the last level of the Lifetime Score.
LOL, no - I'm not maxed out yet. I split my drive time between cars and occasionally telecommute, so my first Insight oil change will be triggered by time (1 year) rather than distance.You haven’t maxed your tree score yet??

Oops, this is it. I was just looking at the bottom row. Last I looked I had 2 leaves on 1 stem across the top. I only have 1052 miles on it, so the average should start building.Also just to double check... are you referring to improving your score on the top row or bottom row of leaves?

You're well on your way then! The next level of leaves should start showing up for you at 1300-1500 miles. You'll see the bottom row advanced to the "2-leaf" level and your drive score will start showing those as well.Oops, this is it. I was just looking at the bottom row.

I drive conservatively (although I swapped with my wife for her 2015 Prius today, and I might not have been so nice t her fuel tank - PWR Mode can be fun every now and then :winkAt roughly 4800 miles I maxed out the lifetime, I believe, just to give you guys an idea of around where the lifetime meter fills if you drive pretty averagely.
