    Seems a bit high, even if the average speed is 70km/h. I'm usually around 5.1L/100km at a steady 110km/h. Is your highway speed greater than 130km/h? Maybe that's why.

    I only use ECO or PWR modes. So I have no idea how the NORM or mixed mode works.

    If you deactivate "ECO" mode, that will be "normal" mode.

    I understand how to get into the NORM mode. what I do not understand is the benefit of the NORM mode.

    I would "guess" it would run in a normal way.
    ECO would use the battery more, cut back on the a/c and such and more Economicly efficient.
    Power gives you the maximum power from the engine and hybrid battery. A more sporty feel.
