[QUOTE="smurfslayer, post: 1540373, member: 21926"] Does the Mustang have mode memory ( I’m asking here )? I hear what you’re saying about the economy standards, but have you practically run sport for several tanks vs. [S]eco[/S] normal ? I have, and I know it’s only observation level data, not scientifically gathered, etc. etc. but I never lost more than 1/2 mpg using sport as opposed to [S]eco[/S] normal and in a few cases I gained economy using sport mode :p and I’m reasonably sure that’s because the default programming tries everything short of downshifting first, including a full 18psi of boost. Motorcycles may not be required to rate fuel economy, but they’ve figured out how to permit tailoring of drive modes, and that tech has been there for almost 10 years now. Think of it this way- if you selected weather mode, you have what Ford gives you. On a bike - well, a lot of them, certainly not all of them, you can tailor ‘rain’ mode to have anywhere from nn to 100% power, you can program traction control intervention, abs intervention levels, I think some have some limited throttle mapping capability now too, as throttle by wire is gradually infecting motorcycles. Let me try to articulate it another way. Tell me (us) that the F150 Raptor ‘defaulting’ to [S]eco[/S] normal drive mode every ignition cycle is the perfect solution and cannot be improved. Can you honestly do that? [/QUOTE]
