Laziness............................. I like my automatics to do the gear changing for me! Also most of my journeys I'm cruising at 60 in 6th anyway for 16 miles into town

I have the "petrol" engine and posted some time back that I don't see a decrease in mpg while driving in sport mode.

I am missing something here, excuse my ignorance. In S mode I do nothing differently to D. I never use the paddle shifts, just let the gearbox do the work.

Surely dynamic mode is sports-plus an extra something! If so, it totally makes sense that sports is better than dynamic mode for fuel consumption.

Sports mode also holds the gear longer, giving better response and performance, and (I think), will not go into 6th gear. Dynamic mode does not do this. Both dynamic and sports will tighten up the suspension/steering.
I cannot see how sports mode will ever deliver better fuel economy on the basis of the change in gearing, but, if by some miracle it does thats fantastic - will stick mine is 'S' all the time...
RE: Sport Mode returns better MPG?? - XFullFatTim - 17-04-2012 09:29am
If I drive in S then the gears will not shift up automatically until the revs hit the rev limiter unless I pull the paddle to make it shift.................... it doesn't sound very good for the diesel and certainly isn't good for fuel economy

Maybe this is due to the fact that you reach your desired speed faster?

.....and get there quicker so your engine is running for less time.
