    The S keeps the car in "Second" so you have more responsiveness, less recharging.


    read it in the manual of the Civic Hybrid I was in from Zipcar recently... basically the same as in a regular auto.

    I give it about two weeks before the Game Genie Smartgauge EcoGuide cheat module is released. Even the greens have dirty secrets.

    blue... i what the freaking dash to turn blood red, with the screams of innocent women and children fighting with the engine for my auditory attention.

    then i want the honda badge to turn into a flamethrower so i can banish the slow fuel sippers ahead of me to a fiery hell. with the smells of pachooly emitting eternally from there chard, hippie remains.


    eco mode...

    The scoring function could add an interesting dimension to resale value...would you buy a used Insight if you got in, turned the key, and saw that the previous owners' lifetime score was really low?

    @Miscellanea: I thought Katamari Damacy Mode only worked on SUVs and exotics... they keep trying for the light poles too soon, tho.

    Not to ruin your mystery, but the current Civic Hybrid has PRNDSL. I don't know what it does, but it's nothing new.

    When you were here before
    Could've looked straight with your eyes
    You're just like an asshole
    Demands make us cry
    The bloat is unfettered
    In a bountiful world
    The Insight is special
    It's so fucking special


    But feature creep
    Means electric speedo
    What the hell is it doing here?
    It don't belong here


    We don't care if it hurts
    Adjusting climate control
    We want a modern cabin
    We want a Honda soul
    We want you to notice every last little stat
    We're so fucking special
    We wish you were special


    But feature creep
    And a digital odo
    What the hell is it doing here?
    It don't belong here

    My vehicle also gives me feedback as to whether or not I'm driving economically:


    Engine running: Not economical

    Engine off: Economical
