I’ve been getting bored with the 7AT recently so I decided to drive with it exclusively in sport mode the past two days (without using the paddles/shifter). I reset the MPG counter when I started driving in sport and I found I’m getting ~25mpg while in normal drive mode I’ve been getting ~20mpg. I’ve just been driving my daily route as well. Is this a fluke or is sport mode more efficient somehow?
I think it is also to susceptible to "how" you are driving. Casual driving in Sport mode isnt too utterly different then normal, but once you start giving it a bit. But who knows, maybe it is both better gas mileage and more fun
