[QUOTE="rtmozingo, post: 1373062, member: 24616"] [USER=21926]@smurfslayer[/USER] "If a vehicle has various drive modes but defaults back to Normal whenever you turn the engine back on, the EPA draws its fuel-economy ratings from the Normal mode. But vehicles that default to a fuel-saving mode at start-up — like the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee — set economy as the “predominant” drive mode from which the EPA bases its MPG ratings, the agency told us. If a vehicle has drive-mode system that stays in whatever you last drove, the EPA may not be able to establish a “predominant” mode. In such cases, “the vehicle is tested in the various modes and the fuel economy results from the best and worst modes are harmonically averaged,” EPA officials wrote. “For example, if a vehicle has a sport mode, normal mode, and economy mode, the fuel economy results of the sport and economy modes would be averaged.” Source: [URL]https://www.cars.com/articles/do-all-those-driving-modes-affect-a-cars-epa-gas-mileage-1420663064071/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
