1 tank in eco pro

SsixHiMod · 09-25-2018, 12:05 PM

Womp, womp.

Stop/go commute, school zones and a 2-3 mile section of 60mph.

FIFY. Eco pro is soul-stealing!

I tried to do that. but lost. I used comfort mode 75% and the rest is sport, sometimes sport plus

chowser51 · 09-25-2018, 02:08 PM

Yeah. I did one tank in eco pro. Now it’s comfort most of the time and sport when on the freeway. Haven’t tried sport plus or launch control yet.

I use comfort mode most of the times. And I use eco-pro when on the highway. Haven't used sport mode in a while. comfort mode had a nice balance of power and well comfort. The car returns over 530 miles on full tank.

Agreed, except when I suddenly want a fast acceleration. It still takes a split second for the transmission to kick down one gear to bring in the power.

I like the shifting point from Sport mode the best (usually around 2 to 2.5k RPM driving reasonably) and S auto mode is way too much (way over 3k even with moderate driving). But Sport mode takes away the comfort a bit...

Oh, you were that guy getting walked by a prius.

BuefordTjustice · 09-25-2018, 04:33 PM

I keep it in sport, more engine breaking for daily traffic

530 miles?

chowser51 · 09-26-2018, 07:37 AM

! 530! I can barely get to 400 miles. Well that's mostly city driving with a few freeway trips.
I'm taking the grandkids and their mom back to NC next month, I'll try and use eco pro for most of the trip and see what I get.

Yes, I drive 95% Highway and 5% city. You have to be very light footed to get this range. Trip computer shows 38 to 39 mpg consistently.

Get the same result on a freeway with (520-540 range) my 430x GC

Gen13 F36 · 09-26-2018, 02:47 PM

What gas!!!....if I want to save gas....I'll jump ship and buy a Tesla Model 3 performance dual motor....lol

IAmATeaf · 09-27-2018, 04:29 AM

I only ever use eco mode when on the motorways, around town it’s comfort and when on B roads it’s sport.

I get that in my M3 commuting every day in Sport...and not saving on gas (unless the left number is your gas tank mileage, then you're doing real well

)
