My drives consist mostly of long highway rides (800+ Km at a time) or very short (<10 Km) city rides. The AC in summer runn...

Re: Fuel
It saves most fuel on parts where regular cars suffer - hilly slow town rides are the cheapest, it spends most fuel cruising on the motorway.

Re: New member
Sports mode is great for overtaking and when you need a quick start (e.g. slip roads for entering a motorway). Eco mode is lazy and tries to save fuel while Sport mode cranks up both steering and acceleration to be immediate at the cost of fuel economy. Try playing with it in safe situations - befor...
