I've only had the car for 2 weeks, but has anyone else gotten worse mileage in "ECO" mode?
For the first week I had it in eco mode and was consistently getting about 3.7-3.9 miles/kWh. I turned it off the second week and was consistently getting 4.5-4.7 miles/kWh. I'm not sure what settings change in eco mode, but it doesn't seem to have the intended effect. Acceleration was a little more sluggish in eco mode, as expected, but I did not see the comparable gain in efficiency. The vehicle was noticeable more peppy, especially off the line, with eco mode off.
In case it matters, during both weeks I would typically drive in "B" for local driving, and move it to "D" when I expected to get on the freeways. Has anyone else seen this kind of behavior out of eco mode?
