Eh? It's a points scoring, you start the week with 100 and you lose points for harsh acceleration or braking, over revving, not using cruise control, not driving in the green band etc,you can build up your points but it's slow

We have a similar thing in our vans. They are autos and we regularly get told we are over revving. I didnt think it was possible in an auto

over-revving means anything above the green band (the most economical range between two sets of revs)

Yeh you're right, but in an auto?

in the auto trucks we get told to manually change gear, and autos will change up earlier if your foot isnt pressing hard down
