Been driving in Eco for the past two weeks and noticed a significant increase in gas mileage. Wish I had been driving in Eco from day one. The car always feels smoother and the acceleration is so seamless with the little bit of power still there. Absolutely love it

Yuuuuup. I'm always in eco mode. I was in sport mode today because my boy told me that Shell Nitro+ gives a huge difference in throttle response. I didn't really notice the difference. Maybe it was because since I'm always in eco, the difference I noticed was the usual eco to sport mode change.

With that said:
Eco: 0%
Normal: 90%
Sport: 10%
Complete opposite with me. 90% eco, 10% sport, and 0% normal. My car is only in normal because when I'm in sport and turn off my car, I forget to switch over to eco. When I turn it back on it turns on at normal and I switch it to eco haha.

Honestly I have no idea.
I'm not a super aggressive driver, and I rarely floor my gas pedal.

In Eco, the car shifts to the highest gear whenever possible, and you can feel the throttle response is slower than in Normal Mode, however, I don't see any significant MPG gain from driving Eco.

All things aside though, I'm quite surprised by how different everyone's experience is on the 3 driving modes.

Like Spend 100 bucks on amazon to buy something that you can plug in and Sport + would stay enabled.

It's a huge gripe I have with this car.
I actually like the car to go back to normal. Then, I can see the speedometer change from black to white each time I switch to sport mode.
