Your driving mode for daily driver

For daily driving (back and forth to work, which is 10 min one way, no highway) I stay on ECO. Weekends I might push it to NORMAL or SPORT/SPORT+ depending on how I'm feeling. I have a 15 F-SPORT.

I also commute about 60 miles a day. Normal mode driving about 95% of the time. The other 5% is Sport + mode. I get about 340 miles on the full tank plus minus a few miles.

I normally take drives using primarily Eco/Normal modes and switch to Sport S/Sport S+ depending on use/need and then revert back to Normal/Eco. Lately, I've been trying out driving around exclusively in Sport S & Sport S+ and have come to really like Sport S. Steering response is much quicker and more direct and combined with the added throttle response, it really makes the car feel much smaller/lighter in parking lot scenarios or navigating through trafficky streets. Super maneuverable. My only complaint is that I feel like Sport S feeds in a little bit too much road feedback (LOL, I know this is usually a good thing) and I can feel every little groove in the steering wheel. Normal mode cuts back significantly and Eco seems to completely numb the steering wheel, which I've actually come to like. Feels like what I envision the "signature" Lexus driving experience to be like. I like that it doesn't transmit any road surface info back and doesn't seem to follow the grooves/cracks. In low speed scenarios, I feel like Eco mode allows the car to really show off an incredible low-speed finesse I haven't come across before.

I have a 15 F Sport RWD. Refueled tonight and was curious about this. This was based on the MPG after refueling gauge, not sure if this is accurate or not. I was cruising by myself at 60-65 w/o AC, in ECO mode on a flat freeway w/o traffic for about 20 miles and saw the numbers between 32-34 mpg. Sounds too good to be true since those numbers are better than the hybrid?
