all those driving on S/S+...
are you guys actually up-shifting? considering S modes keep the toque converter on where the most torque is... and hold it there for a very long time after you reach your cruising speed... i find that mode to be useless unless i'm manually engaging...
either that you are all getting below 18MPG from excessive revs.

I have a little over 900 miles on the ODO and averaging about 20mpg.
Normal mode 90%
Sport 7%
Sport+ 3%
Although I love Sport+ with its stiffer steering and damping, I'm not hitting enough twisty roads to utilize it. Sport mode for when I need the engine and tranny more aggressive to get me to my destination faster but don't need the stiff steering and damping. I use the M mode occasionally, should be using it a lot more, its fun.
