Some people may not be aware of this but if you are driving the back roads out in the country the car will stay in the 8 cylinder mode. The only time the car switches to 4 cylinders (regardless of the position of any of the switches) is if you are traveling at highway speeds. The car will not switch to 4 cylinders in 1 thru 4, the 4 cylinder mode only kicks in when you shift to 5th, 6th or 7th gear.

Is there any reason you can not have fun in ECO mode. On my trip home to SC from NH I drove in every mode except for weather and ECO did not effect the fun factor. I put the exhaust in loud mode and the ECO mode sounded great.

Hmmm, my car will go into V4 in 3rd or 4th gear. I don't remember reading anything about it being limited to 5th-7th gear. It gets pretty annoying when your driving slow and it's constantly bumping back and forth between V4 and V8. The only time I use Eco now is when I'm cruising on the Interstates and some open highways.

Cool pic. Time to get that made into a large pic, frame it and hang it on the garage wall.
