Drive mode
Sorry if I’m reposting but I am curious to know what the average GS owner drives in Sport Mode. Mine is a ‘16 GS350 RWD so my choices are Eco, Normal and Sport and I drive them about 10% / 80% / 10% respectively.

75% ECO
0% Normal
5% Sport
20% Sport+
(5% in manual)
Just curious why not too many people use ECO more often to save on gas when they aren't having fun in the sport modes. Is gas consumption the same on Sport and Sport +?

For those who consistently use Eco, is there any real MPG gains? I am 0% Eco as I figured it doesn't make much, if any, difference. I'm typically 75% normal and 25% sport+

Averaging 31.0 mpg over 18k miles as per trip computer. The Eco does seem to give better mpg but the car feels much heavier in Eco.

Agreed 100%: Throttle response is terrible compared to Normal/Sport modes...but that subdued throttle does help with better gas mileage.

40% NORMAL
60% . SPORT +
Since the car I drove before this one averaged 12 mpg DOWN HILL with a tail wind.... I don't really mind the lower MPG that you get in sport + mode,especially when weighed against the improved driving experience. I'm still averaging mid 20's mpg.
