Then, this morning, I was running late. D'oh.

Yeah ECO PRO is definitely worth using in rush hour since I'll typically have to accelerate from 0-25 to maybe 35-36 then back down to 0 over and over. I just have no reason to speed up fast only to to slam the brakes seconds later! (also makes one look like a douche) Even in this type of driving, I typically average 29-31mpg which is awesome. Then the evening rush, weekends and "evenings" in general hit then it's all out the door! It's a love/hate thing with that fuel consumption monitor, ESPECIALLY when running late
Since this is my daily driver and almost half the time I start out in some type of rush hour, I coded it to just start in ECO PRO....it also keeps me in check when starting my drive since the engine temp is cold
