xHP Fuel Saver mode

Anyone tested this yet?

I flashed the new 1.8 version yesterday and enabled the fuel saver mode which overrides any custom maps you configure. I’ve always used custom maps to make the gearbox change up faster but this new mode basically does that for me and doesn’t affect sport mode which is great.

Anyway, be keen to hear anyone’s thoughts if they do the same

I saw the update but it didn't sound interesting enough to try. It sounded like an Eco-Pro gearbox map without the in-sensitive acc pedal map.

I have my shifts lower than ECO pro and the 'box shifts faster too with Stage3 so thought it would be pointless. I also dont really want coasting in Comfort.

Would be good to hear your thoughts though.

It is that but only for Comfort and (obviously) ECO pro. Sport reverts to stock shift points which suits me better as if I'm in Sport mode I probs don't care about changing up faster.
Previously the only way to achieve faster upshifts were through the map editor which applies across all driving modes in D so this new option resolves that for me which is nice.

Wdym lower than ECO pro? As in changing up faster? That would be hella fast lol. Also with this setting enabled, coasting only applies to ECO pro not Comfort or above
