Just to let you know...by doing that I heard it takes the engine out of econ mode. Meaning that it adjusts the engine management to get more horsepower, torque, etc. This is great, and it feels more responsive however I did get worse mpg. I heard this from the dealer so I dont really know if its true, or if I just got worst mpg on that tank compared to the last couple.
 
I have read the owners manual cover to cover and my understanding is that the ECO Light is simply a gimiky attempt to make a 5000lb SUV with a 270hp v6 seem green. I do not think it has any control over the engines output. If you change your odometer display in you speedo to the average fuel economy you will see and eco guage even with the eco light turned off.

I hear ya. I kinda think that too, just that the dealership called a couple days ago to tell me about it, and I happened to get less mpg on the tank when I turned it off. Seems hard to believe that it would do anything but turn the light off. Who knows?????
