From what is said in the manual, I believe that the changes in vehicle performance really only apply to city driving. Highway performance might change if you are doing a great deal of downshifting at highway speeds.

ECO mode does apply to all speeds. I've found that I really like it on highway driving. I personally dislike downshifts at a steady speed. So I'd like a car to downshift only if really really needed. The ECO mode seems to help the transmission keep it's gear longer and remove some un-needed downshifts.

Thanks alot for the information.
Today I went to my dealer for the recall (change the module for the defogger) it took 15 min.

Eco mode basically translates to lower idle speeds and earlier shifts, with an emphasis to getting in a higher gear faster. On the highway it doesn't translate to much. Most people say it adds about 1 MPG.

I'd say the ECO mode is either on or off at any speed or driving condition. The vehicle should shake a bit in ECO mode in the city due to lower idle speeds. I've found I like it turned on all the time now, as the shift points seem to match my driving style a little better than with it off.

I have a SLT 2 v6 and i dont see anything for Econo mode where do you equip it at?

I was told the ECO mode is a waste in town but good on the highway because it retards the timing. Don't drive highway enough to check it but it does not help MPG in city driving.
