Ok maybe its just me, and maybe its just because I don't really use EcoMode at all,
But after 16 Months and 60k miles It finally dawned on me that the Green Bar on the Display in EcoMode that goes around the edge of the speedo and gets longer and shorter is nothing more than a spirit level..
It gets longer as the nose of the car points uphill, so you can use more energy before breaching the limit and shorter when the nose of the car is downhill so you can use less energy before breaching the limit..
So OK next challenge is to find hill with a large enough gradient to get the green bar all the way to the end of the display.
Little things for little minds, but it really amused me that I though Hyundai were using some complex algorithm to work out the ideal economy and in the end it its nothing more than a level gauge
