Turning ECO off?

BensonTT · Apr 6, 2012

Hey guys, What does turning the eco drive off do? Do you waste more gas or something.?

All it does is turn that green light off. Nothing more.

Hah. Too funny. That's what I decided years ago too but really never knew for sure. Never noticed any difference or benefit in 12 years.

With ECO off, my air conditioning ran colder. True story.

Yeah, the 2 LED's that light up the ECO indicator get pretty darn hot. Makes sense that the A/C wouldn't need to work as hard with those off.

Yup.
