Poll: Econ vs. Sport Mode 850 1995

posted by  someone claiming to be kitab on  Wed Jun 9 09:17 CST 2004 [RELATED]

I'm interested in what driving mode most 850 drivers use, and if anyone has carefully measured MPG to see if "economy" is any more economical than "sport" shifting mode.

I have a '95 850 Turbo and I use the sport mode exclusively. At one point I experimented driving sport vs. econ mode over several months and found no difference in the mpg. I figure I bought the turbo model for its sporty ride - it would be silly to drive in econ mode. Any other opinions?
