My TCP is doing 6k km atm, with serviced A during 5k km using it for about 4months soon. 100% city drive and mostly on RON95. Daily travel around 20km thru and back from work.
i have been not using ECON mode for 3 weeks and 2 full tank of petrol. My recorded was 11.5km/l compared ECON mode on which is roughly 10.7km/l
My observation is on ECON the car is pretty much underpowered in normal city move and stop driving. Hence sometimes over-step for need of more power consumes more petrol.
After 1 service my FC is getting better. Before Service A with econ sometimes can be as low as 9.5km/l
Let me know if my stats are really low which i think its low. should be at least 12km/l imo.
My last two journey fuel consumption average at 15.5km/L (Bandar Saujana Putra - Wangsa Maju - Bandar Saujana Putra) using MEX.
This is with ECON mode on. Speed on highway is around 110 - 120km/h. RPM never went pass 2k. Your MPG is rather low bro
What I can deduce is that with ECON mode on, the car will setup itself for fuel efficient driving. It kinda forces you to drive efficiently as you wont floor the pedal all the time. I kinda notice on highway drive, it is more smooth as it rarely downshifts whenever I had to slow down a little bit due to car in front. And yeah, it does make the AC kinda warm a lil bit.
All in all, it's more like a failsafe system to save fuel if someone is born with a heavy foot
