I too feel like they could have done a better job smoothing out the delivery of the choked back power in Eco - there is nothing, nothing, nothing so you keep pushing - and then all the sudden, it acts "normal"...kind of defeats the purpose in my opinion.

Update on mine - I am at 2100 miles and the MPG remains stubbornly below 20 MPG. I ride in Sport + and basically nothing else.

Also, Eco only works up to 75 MPH. Who goes 75 on the highway?
This is where it seems unsafe. I am perfectly capable of driving a car slowly and smoothly but in eco you need to depress the pedalled than 50% just to speed up. Then it goes up to much. So you wasted gas. The only good thing about eco are the other settings that it activates like eco climate etc that helps fuel as well.
