I’m going to be taking my QP on a trip to Chicago and back from Toronto in May, which is a bit over 1000 miles round trip. I was curious if anyone has tested the fuel consumption in sport mode compared with regular for highway driving/cruising at speed? I pay attention to the mileage out of curiosity and see 10-13 in the city and 19 was the best on the highway recently. I’m not really a conservative driver in the car, taking advantage of tunnels and curves and passing opportunities with glee. I’m more curious whether the theoretical easier breathing exhaust would make a difference in sport mode.
Highway MPG in Sport vs regular?

I use the km/l setting in the display (km per liter) and average 7.6-8.2 most weeks. If accurate, that translates to 29.6 km per gallon (Canadian gallon) or 20 miles per gallon. No complaints there and I don't think my Acura suv does any better. Mind you, I rarely boot it and never off the line, with tires being so darn pricey. On another note, I had an RX7 (1979-carb) and recall a discussion with the service guy. I mentioned that I was only getting around 17mpg. He told me about a client insisting there was something wrong with his RX7 as he was only getting 14 mpg but during a test drive, the owner was peeling consistently and revving to 6000 before shifting. Light feet get better mileage.
