I just ran 14.7 seconds at 98 mph but In my 10 speed '18 eco. I guess you need to learn exactly when to shift since my computer is doing it for me. Yeah make sure you on flat surface. This was 5 years ago not sure if you still got your eco. Thx for upload...good reference

Just tried eco mode on a 2 hour 30 min drive for the first Time. It is a huge difference in power. Throttle feels lackey, almost like that button turns the boost down on the turbos. Which is fine. I averaged 22.4 without a reset. I just bought the truck and only have 500 miles on it. I did not reset the trip.

Let's apply a little high school physics to this problem. When you're driving at a constant velocity on the highway what are your sources of drag? Mainly rolling resistance and aerodyanic drag, of which the latter will certainly be larger. So what is the power required to stay at this *constant velocity*? Well, the power will be the combined force of tire resistance plus aerodynamic drag. While the atmospheric conditions persist (i.e. no change in wind, temperature or air density) this will not change, which is to say that the force you're required to overcome will not change. Since power is the dot product of Force and Velocity if you're not accelerating your engine will have to generate a specific amount of power on the highway to continue at constant speed. This power will be the power previously described plus any mechanical loss in linkages. So the question is this: does eco mode help you while you're driving at a constant velocity? Why would any sane engineer design an engine to generate a specific power output sub-optimally? Which is to say, if I need to generate 40hp of power, why would I design an engine to run consuming x + 1 units of fuel per second when it can be designed to consume x units of fuel? The point is you're fundamentally misunderstanding the point of eco mode. These turbo engines are designed to deliver large amounts of torque and power. You'll probably notice that despite being turbo charged they don't actually have high compression ratios - naturally aspirated Mazda engines actually have significantly higher compression ratios. That's because they're optimized for torque and not efficiency, which would result in higher compression ratios (but lower maximum torque). So your eco mode will limit this engine advance *for the same throttle position sensing.* What does this mean? If you drive in eco mode and don't change your driving style your engine should accelerate more gently and generate some fuel savings. But it's just a mapping. If you compensate for shifted mapping by giving the engine more throttle you will likely negate any benefits. Now there may be some other things going on that I'm exluding, like advancing cylinder deactivation at lower power levels, but in general this is going to be the case.

Ecomode started destroying my Honda Odyssey. The cylinder that shut off started building up carbon and scoring the cylinder from unburned stuff in the cylinder. Better mpg but a third less miles out of the engine.

Ford doesn’t deactivate cylinders on the Ecoboost engines, pretty much transmission shits and lessens throttle response.

Well I am not convinced. I have a 3.5 dual turbo but I am also leveled and have added 20 inch custom wheels and 275/65R20 Terra Grapplers. I also have a bed box and other gear so conservatively I have added 250 pounds of weight to the equation. I also have the 36 gallon tank, so when full that's 80 more pounds. Basically my weight to HP ratio is going to be way outside of what I suspect the factory used to calculate. I just did a 400+ mile round trip, flat land, with "down" in ECO and "back" in normal mode. Almost all but a few of those miles on interstate. Full to start in both directions. I was also driving where I was passing a few more than getting passed and trying to run about 78 mph on cruise when traffic allowed. Yes, there were some jams and slow downs in both directions. End of story: 17.4 MPG in ECO and 17.8 in Normal. Yes I understand my speedo is off due to tire diameter but it still showed ECO wasn't as my truck is configured.

It just seems like econ mode on my car limits my rpm. I see how that could help me to burn less gas. But if I'm taking longer to reach my desired speed, doesn't that end up burning just as much gas? Not to mention, the italian tuneup helps keep your engine clean.

Driving comfort is affected because eco mode tries to delay downshifting as much as possible. So when you pass the shift threshold it tends to downshift unexpectedly, causing rocking.
