Quick question, I’m taking a trip to Baton Rouge from Houston. Is it better to drive with cruise on in sport mode or eco ? I remember seeing a post back (can’t find it now) about when traveling long distances put it in cruise on sport. But I’m trying to get as much mpg as I can. Thanks!!
 
I'd put it in smart mode and let the computer decide. I mean, it might be tempting to see just how fast she gets over the Atchafalaya, which one would be more inclined to do in sport mode. If you do decide to punch it, smart mode will move it to Sport for you, and then back down when you are cruising. See what kind of MPG you can get, which eco/smart mode would let you maximize.
 
Just observational but it seems to use the same shift maps for all modes when you're in cruise. Just tries for highest gear in each. When you cancel the Cruise in Sport, it will usually downshift to keep the RPM's up. Steering and suspension stay with the drive mode.
