EcoPro not at top capacity

Il Fenomeno 415 · 10-03-2013, 07:45 PM

So after I put air im my tires I noticed my EcoPro blue saved mile number top off around 22-23 miles. Prior to this the highest it would reach would be around 14. However i decided to drive at Comfort/Sport for a few consecutive days and now going back to EcoPro the blue mile number again seems to be rising at a slower rate again. Anyone know why??

No one will know because no one uses that mode. LOL

That mode is a bit of a misnomer IMHO. It's so damn sluggish.

Could be as simple as how much fuel you have in the tank when you switch to Eco Pro. As range is a factor in the calculation.

A simple change in driving style, conditions, even ambient temperature can also have a part in the change.

The most I ever saved in Eco Pro mode was about 9 miles. The only time I use Eco pro is very short trips like bringing the kids to school. There is very little benefit and I think that this mode should just be eliminated. Sport mode should be the standard driving mode with comfort to be optional IMHO.

Really? I use it cruising home from work sometimes. Open road, 70 mph, great gas mileage.

FYI i just use it on commutes to work, no point in sport mode in stop/go traffic. My tank was full when I switched to EcoPro mode and I noticed clearly that the saved miles wasn't increasing at the rate that it was.
