Eco mode vs Normal mode is it bad
#2
Not bad, just useless.

That said, I drive in ECO mode on road trips 'cause it makes me feel like I'm saving something...and SPORT mode in the city 'cause I prefer the steering feel (real or not).

On the ES, it only reduces throttle response and A/C function. That said, if you mash the pedal to the floor, it makes no difference in acceleration. I always switched to sport mode, mainly for the stiffer steering wheel. Oh, and I liked the red dash.

Eco will give you less throttle response compared to normal, and the shift points will be lower in the RPM band. The best I can tell, holding the gas pedal down 50% in Eco is like holding the pedal down 40% in Normal, if that makes sense.

I actually like the throttle response in Eco better than Normal, (probably because I have a heavy foot) so I use that mode all the time. Probably get around 1 mpg better mileage as a result. In stop and go CA driving, normal and sport tries to put too much power down to the front wheels when making lane changes on the highway from a complete stop, and I get too much torque steer and non-Lexus behavior.

Active ECO (you act to turn the **** and the car Acts differently) modifies the throttle response,
shift points, HVAC operation and cruise control response. A/C seems to have the greatest effect
on actual MPG, you can simply press the throttle harder and negate any gains the throttle or cruise
control mapping tried to provide.
Note: Passive ECO is the green letters that pop up on the occasions you are actually driving "Economically"
or "Ecologically" and you are rewarded with a gold star for your restraint.

Nice catch, knowing I saw it somewhere I have attached excerpts from TIS...
GS 350's Drive Mode affect the shift points, ES 350's do not.
