the 2012 E Class has within the dashboard display a screen entitled Eco Display

it shows a percentage since start figure
acceleration, constant and coasting bars that fill up
its connected to the Eco drive stop start mechanism
anyone got it, look at it, think its any good ? i cant see any real benefit or am i missing summat:dk:
 
Been using it on wife's new SLK200 to try to understand the even lower than expected mpg it's been returning. With great self restraint, she managed to get a 98% result at end of her normal Mway commute- which corresponded to an improvement of 4mpg (compared with previous 65-75% Eco ratings). So our initial conclusion is that it does help one drive more economically (though not to the extent of getting even close to the manuf's quoted figures).

Frustratingly, unlike the mpg data, the economy display seems to lose its data on ignition off.
