I, too, drive my car occasionally and average 18-19mpg in mixed driving. So unless this device is going to increase that by 25% (number off the top of my head) I don't see where the payoff is going to happen.
I don't generally drive in ECO mode, but I have tried it and didn't notice any adverse driving issues...
Any enlightenment?

Pardon my ignorance, but if the car's only being driven occasionally, what's the benefit of this device?

Since the OP talked about his reduced gas mileage I mistakenly thought the thread was referring to that device. I have no idea what TC refers to but I appreciate your condescension. After all we're not here to share information and help each other, are we?

Well, I had never heard of the Range devices prior to reading this thread (in it's entirety) so I went to the mfgr's website before posting. One of the devices they make IS for improved gas mileage and the other is for disabling the AFM.

Geez. Why do people have to be sick dicks on here lately. Is it that big of a deal that some folks don’t search or know every little term on here?

That is good news. Just to be clear, you have a '17 Grand Sport with the A8, no switch, and version 8.6, and after 2 days of using it, no CELs and no limp mode?
If so, it's time to break out the credit card again and buy it (again. I bought an earlier version and returned it waiting for a version that would work with my 17 GS with an A8)
