Sport mode fuel efficiency

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I just purchased the TX 350 and it's my first Lexus vehicle. I'm wondering how much of an effect sport mode has on fuel efficiency. Is it very noticable or minimal?

@Bluemus RX500h owner here with similar powertrain TX500h. I'd say you'll see a difference but not very dramatic.

Sorry, I meant Sport (vs normal) mode in the 350, not the sport version of the vehicle.

doesn't seem like much of a difference on the highway. around town you will because it wants to stay in a lower gear to keep the RPMs higher so the turbo is spooled and more ready for action....
