A10 owners-Sport or Touring mode on highway?

I usually use Touring mode on highway rides, even shorter ones. Last night kept in Sport for awhile. It’s considerably more eager and fun albeit worse mpgs I’m sure.

Anyone use Sport mode on the freeway/highway much?

Not an A10 but I do not really like the steering feel in Sport. Do you notice a big difference?

It might just be I am used to Touring

Most of the time I drive around in Sport mode but drive in Tour mode when on a trip out of town in my ZL1. Helps to save gas even though I have a M6!

Starting to think this is a good idea.

You’re always in Track mode on the highway?

I am. I'm always in Track mode, sometimes with nannies off, sometimes with them on.

Well, you can force the steering feel to Tour in all modes if you want.

I drive in Sport most of the time, Track when I need linear throttle response, and sometimes Tour on very long highway stretches.

While fuel is less expensive right now, I still leave mine in Tour. Sport is fun, but the price of fuel may skyrocket after the first of the year. I'm preparing myself...

We all can count on gasoline prices increasing for sure!

Both Tour and Sport throttle progression have the same mapping/response. How would you save gas in Tour and not Sport?

I basically only use Sport in Manual mode, rarely Touring or Track.

On the highway, I am primarily in sport. However, I override my exhaust to track at all times... Steering feel I also adjust at times, usually between sport or track. I actually like the super stiff steering feel of track on the highway.

Suspension wise (with MRC) I like sport or touring on the highway. Track I will use for spirited driving on back roads and such.

Just depends how I am feeling!
