- 2020 Escape Hybrid
I tried to find a description of the hybrid technology in the 2019 Accord, to avail. I know the new CR-V has a unique hybrid drivetrain layout, but my understanding is it's new. Do you have anything?
I've tracked the "dash" mileage against what the gas pump says. I see the dash reading 5% high.
NORMAL mode is default. No one uses ECO mode until they remember to hit the button.
My memory is variable, but my mileage is consistently good, regardless the mode, NORMAL vs. ECO. The only thing I can sense is a change in regen sensitivity, roughly doubling the off-throttle braking force from 0.2x speed to 0.4x speed. (My 2020 Escape has digital readouts.)
At this time, I'm getting tanks over 50 mpg, and I blame it on reduced RR from tires with barely legal tread on them. At tires wear, the tread gets thinner and bends easier. These are very close to end-of-life, and I've already got the replacements, just waiting for the first frost.

Two things.this Eco Mode supposedly changes enough engine controls to allow some people to get past 50 MPG in them.
