Default 500h Drive Mode do you use?

Which drive mode do you use?
Any difference from ECO and Normal? Save any gas?

I seem to see little difference between Eco and Normal. My average mileage whether long distance highway or in the suburbs tends to be 24.9

Eco?

What is this that you speak of?

I figure that by driving a Hybrid, I'm realizing better mileage than a straight ICE powered SUV in this class, but I have no illusions about being in an Eco friendly SUV.

As far as handling settings, even though I have an F Sport, I usually leave it in the default Normal setting. It handles a lot better than my old Honda Pilots did and I spend a LOT of time on So Cal Freeways (3 hours to get home tonight). Every once in a while I get tempted and check out the different modes, but mostly the acceleration and comfort are what attracts me to the F Sport, not the available sportier handling (on a 5000 lb 3 row SUV).
