Do you guys find eco mode makes a difference on highway? I have a 10 hr trip coming up tomorrow and I always thought eco was mainly for city driving. But I’m seeing a decent amount of people say eco on highway so I’m curious.
If its coasting to a similar speed 99% of the time, the MPG between Sport, Eco and normal will pretty much be the same. Even on sport mode when cruising, itll go to its 10th gear.
I guess in my experience, it’s just delayed. The get up and go is there, just a little delayed. I guess that’s the best way to put it. I’ll have to to give it another shot.
Eco usually stays in lower RPMs in higher gears hence the hesitation vs Sport when you go WOT. But the main difference between the 3 modes is the throttle response and gear selection. All 3 modes make the same power all the time.
EX., The throttle opening on Sport if you tap 1/4 on the pedal would be 40% vs 10-20% on eco. Driving on normal mode using 3/4+ of the throttle is practically sport mode without the holding of gears.
There's no cylinder deactivation like on GM/Dodge nor fly tune changing.
