I always drive in "ECO" mode
I always drive in "ECO" mode because the car cruises without surging when steady-speed driving, even when I hit bumps. In "Normal" mode, which has higher throttle sensitivity, my family says it feels more like other cars. "PWR" mode shifts to lower gears (CVT apparent shifts) more aggressively. I'm not sure what Arthur means by "dry driving", but both the electric and gasoline/hybrid systems respond this way. I commonly get 62+ mpg in gas/hybrid mode, which I've come to use on the highway while driving in "ECO". This is unrelated to the state of hybrid charge reserved for "pure electric" driving. BTW, I'm currently getting about 33 miles of range around town when I use EV mode, and I toggle to Hybrid operation on highway runs.
