Morning, all.
My commute is 90% highway and I'm playing with different ways to gain efficiency. I've seen the posts saying you shouldn't run in conservative mode all the time, because it shreds your front tires. But, one of the features conservative mode does that interests me is being able to bring your ride height all the way down to the lowest setting. My assumption is this reduces your wind profile, making you more efficient.
So, here's what I'm wondering: If you're just cruising on the highway, using cruise control, would you actually save more by being in Sport mode with the ride height all the way down, compared to AT mode? I get that Sport mode might use up more juice if you're heavy on the gas, but if you're just cruising at a steady speed and letting cruise control do its thing for speeding up or slowing down, wouldn't having the lowest ride height in Sport mode mean better efficiency?
I'm curious what you all think,
Phil
