karbonkid is an unknown quantity at this point
Default Sports On?

A question I have always wondered & debated with others, ending up in complete confusion. Thought someone is bound to know.
Does Sports mode drink more juice when driving sensibly? When its on you seem to ease off the pedal to match the same speed, hence less throttle and less fuel???

No idea, but I suspect it will be less than 1 mpg if it does...

Just how much you boot it will make more difference.

If you drive it the same as when its off, then I dont think it will make a difference.

Having said that, I always push a bit harder when its on to get the noise!

Have to admit right foot is the best mpg improver

However i only drive without sport on until the cars warm and rarely see over 200 miles around town per fill up

When it is on, I find you have to work the top end less because the 'noise' starts early!...
