Default Got 30+ mpg on eco mode !!!

Got 30+ mpg on eco mode for the half hour drive with little or no traffic cruising at about 65 mph. See pic attached.



But I just couldn't resist the temptation to switch out of eco and onto Sports +!!!😃😃😃

Soon the mpg dropped back down to around 22 mpg.

Nice! But yeah, the temptation of the Sport S+ is strong

Yup, get between 8-20 mixed. 30+ MPG in ECO w/ cruise set. The less fun you have, the better the fuel economy

The TRIANGLE is an indication that the RC-F car IS NOT HAPPY IN ECO MODE! !! Must switch out SOON to Sports + OR THE RC-F WILL SWITCH AUTOMATICALLY !!!

Haha, no seriously, the TRIANGLE means it is due for service. I was too busy to take her in for 10k service lat week. I'm flying out later today for a two weeks vacation with wife and kids (last trip before school starts again for the kids). I will do the service when I get back.

I do not have the patience to cruise at 65mph lol, this car needs to be driven FAST! When I go 65 I feel like I'm going 30.

But by now most LEOS know my RC-F in the area where I cruise around . Every time I get stopped, the LEO says, "You again?, Do you have a emergency? " Haha....Why I sure do!!!😀😀😀
