I'm not sure if you can force the car to start a new trip or change the four-hour behavior through coding. Does this explain the behavior you are seeing?
Interesting, was unaware about the 4-hour mark. However, the thing is the inconsistency: about half the time with my short pitstops (10-15 mins at a gas station), the car will remember the previous drive mode, but other times it defaults to comfort. Also noteworthy is that the pitstop itself is a fairly consistent routine: the first drive of the day is almost always to my local Shell to get my coffee in the morning, which is about 1 mile/5 mins away, so driving distance/time/style is not really a variable here. Not seeing this as a problem that needs to be solved, just curious to see why/how the car decides on this.
