Hi,

Does fuel efficiency change under different driving modes assuming I drive the car similarly?
For example - I drive in Sport+ mode daily in the city. Is my fuel efficiency expected to be lower compared to Comfort?

(If there is some guide or documentation please share a link).

In my experience in the FL5, no. How you use your right foot, regardless of mode, has the greatest impact on fuel economy.

In theory, should be the same.

I got 31MPGs on my way back home after picking up the car. Driving @75mph on average from Atlanta to Central FL.
For me that was awesome. Not many super sport compacts can achieve that.

I had a noticeable bump by switching from confort mode to sport+. Actually gained 2mpg doing the same driving and a full tank for each test.

But then again the car is under 500 miles and new cars trend to get a bit more efficient after they've been broken in so perhaps a test done when the car has higher mileage would be more accurate.
