People Who Drive on Eco Pro Mode, How Much Savings Do You See?

Been using it lately and notice the car gets significantly slower which sucks but wondering if people who have used it long term see considerable savings.

    I slip into eco by habit when in traffic or when I am cruising. It really goes hand in hand with start/stop where the greater efficiencies are…I drop it into sport/sport+ when I need to take off and get going.

    Such technologies are gas reduction strategies and not gas replacement and the savings are only realized as gas prices get higher. Why burn fuel when not needed?

    Rant…when one tire is 1 psi below standard, eco mode is not an option. Really?

      I too get onto the road with sport and then once I’m on the highway it’s eco & drivers assistance all the way.

        Plastic Couch Cover

        It’s unclear how much wear and tear there are on the bearings, but I don’t buy and use cars to just save it for the next owner. It’s akin to putting a plastic cover on a couch; it works but I don’t do it.

          Could lead to problems for you. I like to enjoy my cars too and I push them hard but I’m not going to accelerate wear on them in the name of saving a few bucks of gas.
