The right ways to use the Eco and Sport buttons

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Instrument cluster

In most cases, people use the Eco mode and Sport mode incorrectly, and this video shows us how: in fact, the Eco mode indicates a mode that should help us save fuel, but to achieve this, it de-powers the engine. It is obvious that to obtain the usual performance, we will have to push harder on the accelerator, resulting in an increase in fuel consumption; on the other hand, the Sport mode will increase the power of the engine, so fuel consumption will also increase accordingly. Therefore, these are two buttons to be used very carefully. The first one only if we decide to go at a moderate speed, and the second one if we want to have fun on some mountain turns.
