Does Eco Pro actually save fuel?
No, using the "Eco" or "Economy" mode in a vehicle does not consume more petrol; it is designed to do exactly the opposite. Eco mode limits the amount of fuel injected into the engine by dampening throttle response and optimizing transmission shift points to keep the engine in a more efficient RPM range. While this might result in a less "zippy" or responsive feel when you press the accelerator, it prevents the engine from working harder than necessary, which directly reduces fuel burn. The perception that a car might be struggling or using more fuel in Eco mode is usually due to the vehicle prioritizing efficiency over performance, but the fundamental goal and engineering outcome of these systems is the reduction of total fuel consumption over a given distance.
