Unless your some bean counter redneck wannabe like Redchevy, of course.

If i had to drive 65mph on a highway i would go nuts.
I make money so i can spend it on petro-products.
And if i ever used the “eco” mode on any car i drove i would shoot it.
Me and eco mode go together like water and oil. Try driving 55. Feels like you are hardly moving. One of the stupidest laws ever written. Everybody spend away on fuel I own Pioneer stock.

Me and eco mode go together like water and oil. Like your style. I drove to Austin this morning. 85 mph in the center lane and the hammer lane was doing 100+. Didn’t see a single PO PO the entire drive. And the ones in the German sports cars and Teslas were probably lane hunting the whole way down.

We have to drive 55 when working in the God-forsaken state of New Mexico. It’s insane. But, you’ve done well by investing in Pioneer. I’ve been working for them, lately. You’ll be rich in no time.

Unless your some bean counter redneck wannabe like Redchevy, of course. When you use your diesel as if it were a commuter car, then yeah I guess it matters. Weird flex though

Best I got in my 21’ was 22mpg from Houston to New Orleans. I was set at 80 mph, 3:55 gears.
Way I drive I avg. around 16-16.5 mpg. I tried the eco mode for a few weeks and didn’t notice much difference on fuel mileage. It did de-tune the engine and was less responsive in the throttle.
I drive a ton so fuel mileage is a concern to me. Not the end all be all but its still relevant. The 10 speed makes a difference in efficiency, my 17’ would get 14 mpg wherever it went.
For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.

I am still looking for the perfect apron, one with reinforced knee areas would be perfect.
