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 use eco pro quite a bit when I am stuck in traffic, driving my kids to school etc. I find it makes a tank of fuel last quite a bit longer overall, although I have never done a more scientific comparison of it. If I use eco pro I can get up to the 600 mile range out of a full tank of diesel in my X5.

    It does definitely make the car slower and more ponderous, but if I’m stuck in traffic anyway it really doesn’t matter. The pleasant side effect is that when I put it into sport mode the car briefly feels like a Ferrari.

    I genuinely don’t mind eco pro (or automatic start stop) for regular driving in busy traffic, but then if I’m honest with myself I’m probably just getting old and boring… which kind of sucks.
