Multiple World Records!!
According to the myChevrolet app, this has to be records of some sort....
Wow!
Drove from Dunsmuir, Ca to Corona, CA. Had no idea I was going that fast! 25 mpg to boot! Somehow managed no instances of exceeding 80 mph!

Everyone gets scores like that. Their idea of hard braking and acceleration are idiotic. Just turn the damn thing off in options.

Seriously impressed! 25mpg while averaging 277 mph? Must have done some serious mods to the car...

What am I supposed to conclude from the two dashes? My initial response was based on my own interaction with this system. Their idea of "hard braking" or "quick acceleration" is, IMO, a complete joke. I don't think the proverbial granny could pass muster with this system. Te most appalling thing about this is that they are tracking you and that it is an opt out situation. You have to intentionally turn it off.

The Average Speed is 277 mph not "two dashes".

Just proves without a doubt that everyone who CAN create an app... SHOULDN'T!

The app does seem a bit flawed. At that average speed, I would have made the trip in 3 hours, not 9.
