EcoDrive worked fine for the first few weeks i had it (i was in the first 1,000 to download it) but now i have a later version and the EcoVille average has dropped to the bottom of the graph and last week's trips don't fully down load so they don't show as a bar graph as do previous trips when i reduce the number of days being viewed. Will keep using it to see if another fix come s along.

I too rev too much in 1st and 2nd gears.

Have increased my score to 76 on average. EcoDrive seems to be working ok, although when i down load my data onto my laptop, takes ages before converts to bars so i can look at the individual trips.

My current aim is to get to 77.

Gawd knows what I am doing wrong!

2.5* Acceleration
3* Deceleration
3.5* Gear Changes
3* Speed

Highest is 69 but averaged out at 66

I have adapted my driving by changing up at recommended revs. Means I am fourth gear at 25 miles an hour.

Any pointers ?????

i downloaded ecodrive bout 2 weeks ago ago. When i plug it in it says eco usb in and ecodrive on so everything is fine in that aspect. After 5 days i plugged the usb into my laptop and ran the ecodrive application and it told me i still had 5 days off driving to do. A couple of of driving later it told me i had 4 days left so i decided to try again and leave it in the car for another 5 days, then i tried it again and its back to saying i still of 5 days of driving to do, its ridiculous, what am i doing wrong? am i supposed to unplug the usb stick after every journey, i have been leaving it in for a few seconds after the engine has stopped. any ideas?????

Not an expert, but sounds like EcoDrive hasnt been installed properly. I downloaded to computer, transferred to USB, installed on car and waited five days. Bingo! Had an issue with trying to download it back to computer but was informed had to delete a file and I was away.

Really is interesting, well to me anyway, learning what I am doing wrong after 30+ years of driving
