I thought that too, but when I got even crap mpg vs sport+, I just went sport+ all the way.

If your car stalled, a "P1603 Engine Stall History" code would have been set. That sets any time the car shuts off without pressing the start button. I've had a couple of cars come in with this code. Turns out the customer overfilled the gas tank and the charcoal canister sucked in raw fuel and dumped it right into the intake.

Guys, eco mode basically changes the shift points of the car, so why would it make any noticeable difference when driving on the highway ?? It is meant to essentially soften the lead foot you have on the gas pedal. If you floor the thing most of the time, the mileage will be crap all around. WOT even in eco mode revs the engine pretty high
