How effective do people find the different modes with the Leon FR, mainly the eco mode. I’ve got the 184 with the DSG gearbox. I can definitely tell the accelerator is much less responsive when in Eco mode, and it often coasts to save fuel, how much does this actually help, compared to normal and sport mode?
I do a lot of motorway driving so want to save fuel on these journeys but how much will it actually save? I’m yet to do a long journey so will see for myself but wondering everyone else’s opinions.
I’m tempted to try millers ecomax as I’ve read good things on this and might save some fuel, it’s not major, I don’t necessarily drive like a saint but wondering what is the best combination to save some fuel with my driving style haha.
Another thing is, do people use start stop, I’ve read it can be really bad for engine and turbo and doesn’t actually save much fuel, is this correct? Surely it wouldn’t be on the car if it would ultimately be bad for it?
