Hi All,

After finding out "C" stands for "Comfort" to be used in snow/adverse weather conditions, I then realised S meant standard and not sport.

However, I find very little difference in MPG for any type of run.

Which mode do you prefer to drive in and which do you find provides better MPG?

My E class has E and S. E stands for Economy and I am not sure whether the S stands for Standard or Sport, but the car always starts in E mode.

I find no noticeable difference in mpg between the 2 modes, although I do drive quite hard and so maybe if I drove a lot more gently I may see benefits from the economy mode.

I much prefer how the car responds when in S mode, there is a very real difference between the modes with my 7G+ box.

Almost always in ‘c’, but I don’t look at MPG much. It makes me cry.

Never been able to record a difference in mpg for c/s personally, C keeps the revs lower but I think S keeps the clutch locked up more? There’s too much difference in day to day driving to tell...
