I know i can feel the differenes between Eco/Normals and when i put it in sports mode
but i really don't tell any differecnes in gas peddle or anything when it comes to Eco vs Normal drive mode other than i can tell the van speed lowers a little bit for the ac and i can tell power gets a little lower when using eco mode but i dont tell any different between gas peddle performance or any other driving features
is there really any point to set it in eco vs normal ? or am i only ever going to notice a operational differences if i put it in sport mode ?

I drive around in eco around 98% of the time with my heavy commute. You notice the most difference with normal vs eco on harder acceleration (eg taking off from a stop) when the RPMs are higher. It feels progressive to me with sport having the most responsive throttle response.
In other situations, it’s not really noticeable.

i drive 95% in eco mode for my normal commute.
i notice zero difference between eco and normal on the highway at cruising speed (50~60 mph).
But on stop and go traffic, i get better gas mileage on ECO as long as i do not floor it on every green light. The launch on ECO mode is super slow, but helps immensely with gas mileage out of a V6.
as for sports mode, it pisses me off every time i engage it. i don't know where the heck they got the "sport" from, it does not feel sporty at all.
