Default Drive mode and MPG

I did a couple quick searches here and on Google but not finding anything. Has anyone seen a more granular breakdown of MPG by driving mode i.e. ECO vs comfort vs Sport? I assume it’s not a huge variance but still curious 😊

i have tried in all but does not make a considerable difference +/- .25 mpg.

the way you drive does. I just did a 800 mile round trip to outer banks with 2 adults and 4 big kids with a thule xl cargo box/ cooler camping gear etc and managed about 17-18 mpg avg. the tank range showed 328 ish. I wasn’t driving slow but watched when i had to merge and speed up how much to push the gas pedal in.

When you're dealing with a tank that gets 18 mpg with a tail wind and 16 normally on the highway it doesn't matter. However, i do like Sport or Sport+ when driving on winding roads. It firms it up enough not to wallow around.
