Your overall score is the average of three scores:
• Acceleration score —gain points for gradual
acceleration; lose points for rapid acceleration.
• Deceleration score —gain points for gradual braking;
lose points for hard braking.
• Speed score —gain points for driving at the best speed
for conserving fuel, which is 72–97 km/h (45–60 mph) for
most vehicles.
