Drive mode - set and forget?

[TTT]

Is there any way to set the default drive mode (Normal/Tow/Sand/Eco) to be in Eco mode every time you start instead of normal?

Not yet. Lots of people are wanting it though, so maybe someone will figure out a way.

I've just made it a habit now that when I get on the interstate to put my hybrid into "slippery" mode.
It seems to get the MPG when you're cruising at 65+ for extended periods of time.

I thought I read somewhere that putting the trans in slippery mode on dry roads was really hard on it. Sounds like it’s working well for you though

That's interesting....I haven't seen any issues. Slippery mode in the hybrid seems to just decrease the regen while coasting which makes a huge difference on the highway. I did a quick search and someone did post a bulletin warning about slippery mode but it seemed to apply to vehicles with AWD(non-hybrid).
