Default 1st Trophy

Today is a great day, I got my first trophy on my Insight. I achieved it in 1485 miles.

Has anyone else achieve this yet, and if so how many miles did it take you?

I didn;t pay attention to the miles at that point. I'll check when we get trophy #2 (which should be soon).

Last fill up yielded a MPG of 49.9 (MID showed 52.1) FOR 450+ MILES

Does anyone know how to re-visit your trophy wins? I wanted to take a picture of it

I have a little over 1/4 tank left in gas with 360 miles shown and 125+ miles left to go on the MID

We just got our 2nd trophy about 2 days ago. We were at about 4450 on the odometer.

After the third trophy, then what? Do they reset at oil changes?

This is where I'm at with a little over 7500 miles.

All three bars are filled in. So what happens next?

Great mileage. Care to pass on any secrets?

my second trophy came up around 3200 miles. Has anyone figured out what happens after the third trophy?

re:

No secrets really, just the usual boring basic gas saving tips:

1) Slow down. I drive "around" the speed limit. 2 or 3 below if no one is behind me, 1 or 2 above if someone is. It takes a little longer to get there, but just a little. If 5 minutes makes that much difference I just leave 5 minutes earlier.

2) Avoid jackrabbit starts and sudden stops. I never did see the point of racing to the next red light. Anticipate traffic.

3) I use cruise control most of the time, including throttling, although I have to admit it's not as responsive as I'd like.

4) Econ button always on.

Having said that, I have made a couple significant changes to my driving habits with this car. One is that I have changed a couple of my usual routes to avoid the biggest hills. The other is that I try to stay off the interstates as much as possible. The difference between 65 MPH and 55 MPH, for me at least, has been a good 3-4 miles per gallon.

I also find it fun to keep the MID on the energy flow screen and see how long I can keep the arrow flowing from the gas nozzle off. I've found a couple spots where I can get a good couple miles without using any gas. Cool!

re:

As the pictures above show I got my third trophy at about 6K. By the time I posted the picture I was at 7500 miles. I am now close to 9000 miles and nothing further has changed. I just show three solid bars when I shut down.

I'm starting to think nothing happens after the third trophy.

Except of course we continue to get phenomenal mileage!

Cheers!

Whew! For the second I thought once all the trophies were won, the car would quit running.

(dry sense of humor)
