What is the purpose of the Eco Driving indicator on the 2012 Yaris? What does it do?
Thanks.

'cause us five-speed fans already have that right foot finesse! None of that simple "stomp it and go!" stuff!

in the old days (real old days) we used to put vacuum gauges on our vehicles. They usually had a green section indicating high vacuum conditions and had it labeled as economy. See when you mash the throttle, the vacuum drops, and you get poor metering and mileage. When you run the motor with the throttle barely cracked, the motor has a very small straw to suck through, causing high vacuum conditions, and giving good mileage. I have noticed on my '12 automatic, that the light comes on when I'm not wasting gas (mashing on the pedal, but using reasonable throttle)... DOH

With the AT, I actually like and appreciate the ECO light. It gives me an economical feeling, though I wish it was not so bright at night.

That nonsense seems irritating LOL....I wonder about car designers.
So I stomp out of every corner, drive like a clown and somehow expect economy? I like the part about disabling it :) |
