    Off to DC for Thanksgiving in my new V2 from central Illinois. I am still a bit confused about the mode choices for interstate driving and achieving the best gas mileage. Last short road trip, we simply got out of the ECO mode and drove "normal". Obviously the acceleration response is better when passing or entering the freeways. I am eager to hear how other V owners navigate the highways for best mileage. Thanks.

    My driving is about 99.5% highway. Eco 24x7. Drive 60 or below if you can without causing a traffic slowdown or hazard. Generally I have to drive 65 or 70 in Texas.
