Eco driving??? Post yours

Anderw · 07-13-2015, 04:24 PM

I normally drive in sport / sport + but I have been using Eco mode more and more lately , and I have to say ! It's kinda fun to see how many miles you can get extra , this morning I noticed I was at 30.1 mi and still had quarter tank left!

What's the most you have gotten !! ??

Eco driving? what is that?...

The problem I have with ecopro is that the AC doesn't cool all the way which makes ecopro a no-go. Basically every time I drive the car its Sport+, gear shifter to the left, and paddle shifters.

The AC setting is adjustable for eco-pro

Eco pro turns my gas pedal into a slushy mess. Fun when you need to pass and 60% pedal= 0% throttle. Then 61% pedal = 100% throttle and everyone in the car is sick.

No thanks.

Tried it once, it was awful (c) Grumpy Cat

Living in the US I wouldn´t bother with EcoPro either.

Tried it on a rental car 420d Convertible a couple of weeks ago => 56 mpg

It gets scary trying to change lanes when using Eco-pro
