Fuel History: This view from left to right starts with the instantaneous fuel economy
gauge and adds historical fuel economy data. The data is represented as an average
for time intervals of either 1, 2 or 6 minutes, with the left most interval being the most
recent. Total time for the 5 intervals is shown at the bottom of the view. Interval time
can be selected in the options sub menu. For Energi vehicles a blue outline indicates
Plug-in Power was used at least half of that interval. Intervals shown in grey color are
from the previous drive.

Coach: This view provides a comparison of your recent Acceleration, Braking and
Cruising behavior to what is recommended for most efficient use of energy under
present conditions. The horizontal bars fill from left to right with best behavior (and
Blue color) shown as at least half full. When the bars are less than half full, the color
is Amber, suggesting that a change in behavior is needed to achieve better energy
efficiency.

Note that fuel economy is not always a measure of appropriate driving behavior. For
example, when driving uphill and maintaining an appropriate speed, your instant fuel
economy may not be good (losing leaves) but the Coach may show a blue bar for
Acceleration or Cruising.
