Has anyone done a tank-to-tank comparison of Normal and Eco Modes?

Last week, when I was filling up, I decided I would do a run on eco mode. Every where I drove would be in eco. I know it effectively is just engine and throttle mapping but I wanted to see what if any difference I would experience. And I haven't seen much of a change. I'm getting closer to 25mpg now with the same driving as before, same circumstances. So not much of a difference, maybe an extra 15mi per tank maybe a bit more.

My usual mpg is 23.6 when driving with normal mode and that seems to hold pretty consistent. My driving consists of running errands in Denver and a weekend trip to go fishing. Some pretty good elevation changes getting to that fishing spot maxing out around 8,000ft and crossing several small for Colorado passes along with a fairly muddy country road effectively on the way back from the South Platte.

I'm sure some people on here have checked this out more extensively then I have and I'm not too worried about my average MPG so long as it stays above 23 I'm happy.

I'm in new england, so LOTS of rural driving and hills to contend with (seems like more uphill than down )

If i'm in full time eco mode, and doing my regular routine driving, i get between 27.5 and 28.5 mpg (computer calculated) but that could easily be less if i had a heavier foot in eco-mode.

In very cold weather, i find more towards 26.5 - 27.0
If i spend more time on the highway, 30 mpg in eco mode is fairly easy to attain.

Get with @Mark S. .. he’s done comparative analysis and has a spreadsheet. Lots of posts on the Eco/Normal topic including this one..

Welp I guess I asked this question before I kinda forgot about it I guess.

I do appreciate you finding those and I will check them out.
