Fair point. Here in Metro Atlanta where I am usually not too much traffic when I am out and about so it isn’t too bad. But for sure, when it’s stop and go traffic mpg drops much lower.

Also, your second point about having Sport set to chassis only—I made a similar thread about that earlier. Basicaly, I was trying to figure out if there was a way to get open exhaust valves in Sport with only chassis selected. Because for me atleast, when you select chassis only, even though I’ve selected open valves in Sport on BM3, it still keeps the valves closed. I’d be driving in sport much more if there was a way to make that happen.
