[ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sibTnMWUPKU[/ame] Efficiency is definitely a core value for MINI. Here we have MINI taking that to another level with the MINI Minimalism Analyzer. It’s an iPhone App that lets you analyze and optimize your driving for maximum efficiency. As of this posting, it’s not in the US Apple App Store yet, but we’ll keep an eye out. Beyond the eco-nerd goodness of being able to optimize your driving for max MPG, this is a great example of the kind of ongoing, expanded functionality that the MINI Connected system brings to the car. So if you’re on the fence about shelling out the $1000 for MINI Connected, think of it this way: you just might make that money back in fuel savings with the help of this app*. *Yeah, yeah, we know that would take something like 20 years of driving, but just go with it. It’s a cool app.
So, you spend all your time trying to keep the fish in the bowl and stop looking at the road. I guess you could check out all the cool data on the iphone while you sit in the hospital shop waiting room. Jim
Huh...... So..... I wonder if MINI made the MPG calculations generated by the ECU a little more accurate with this system? Or is it more of the "feel good" numbers?
.. :sleep: Shift lights for maximum fuel economy are not new. Fish bowl display is new but the idea's been out for decades. More useless tech. Ranks up there with mission control.
