Leave your car on PWR vs Standard and tell me how your MPG end up. I always find my MPG to be better when it's left on PWR (ECT).

 

God...I hope my MPG cannot get any worse....it's currently at 14.6. That's 100% city driving on the PWR setting with occasional "aggressive" driving. AWD is supposed to get worse MPGs, but can't be that much difference.

 

I thought I'm the only one who noticed that...

 

I have been running in PWR mode for two or three tanks now and noticed very little (if any) change in MPG. If I'm on the HWY, I get about 27, mixed, 22, city 21. I do notice that when in PWR mode, under braking, the transmission will immediately downshift...does anyone else notice that? so basically, in regular mode, if I'm coming to a stop, I use the brake and the car coasts down to 0. If I'm in PWR mode, i can feel the downshifts and the car appears to engine brake as well.

 

JC...I must be driving with my hood up...you get 21 city????? The "winter" gas here must suck ***.

 

I hardly ever get 18 in the city. I have an AWD, though.

 

Same here 16-18, but ineresting that in PWR mode I'm getting a little better numbers

 

I turned the PWR on. Wanna try to run 2-3 tanks on it.

 

I get 19-21 pure city and 28-31 pure hwy

 

i drive on snow mode in florida, lol...

 

hahaha....lmao !!!

 

My 07 GS350 RWD gets ~15L/100km = 15.68 MPG, that is all city driving. Although, I only drive 7 mins to get to work. This is all in normal mode.

 

I think there is no difference in MPG between normal and "ECT" mode. The only thing that I can think of that may affect the MPG would be the driving style of the driver, and since when it's on power mode we tend to be more spirited drivers (at least I am). I get about 21-22 on city, and 29-30 on hwy.

 

The transmission will shift at a higher rpm in power mode, thus, using more gas.

 

Around town with constant stop and go i get 15-16 best i got highway cruising at 80 mph is 26 ....70 mph 26.5 . You guys getting 28-30 on the highway must be doing the actual speed limit lol.
