Anyone else find the mpg is better in NORMAL than ECO?

Yes!

I can get it into the mid 60's on my commute to work driving in Eco. Whereas the same route and driving style sees me get 52mpg if on Normal.

Maybe eco gives the best gains when driving very conservatively, whereas hoofing it in normal will be more economical than hoofing it in eco? I'm usually hoofing it.  :grin:

Yeah that could be a valid point. The odd occasion I've had it in Eco I have driven extremely carefully boring but it was really just to see what it could give me.

I found Eco a complete waste of time. Made the acceleration feel as sluggish as my old 1.4 Ibiza and no gains to MPG on my 35 mile commute.

Majority of my travels are motorway bound anD trying to keep up with traffic in ECO does seem to have a negative effect compared with NORMAL.

Crikey you're getting through some fuel.  Look out for my night blue!

Just broke the 500 mile tank range mark. I managed 517 miles with an indicated 56.7mpg on the computer. Mostly driving 80mph down to Essex and a faster drive back. Had climate on and set to 19c the whole tank. This car/engine really does seem to like the long runs at higher speeds.

On a side note I had it in Eco going down and sport coming back up and the mpg didn't seem to vary at all, pretty much the same :/ only noticeable difference was the sluggishness in Eco mode.

Wow! Forgot how sh!te my mpg is without my DTUK box on and no Millers in the tank. On the way to Pulman for my first service after dropping the missus off at work, 23 mile trip, pretty restrained driving, 16C ambient temp.....46mpg indicated.

So, I'm sure that there's something potentially illegal about this picture...
