Don't know what the difference in gas mileage is because I only used tour mode when I was within the 500 mile break in. My commute is 80 miles round trip mostly two lane but some highway and in sport I'm averaging 23.7. I rarely use the paddles so mostly just in drive.

Suspension in touring, steering in sport, exhaust in sport and the throttle controller set to 7. Great how you can configure almost each aspect of this car.

Everything but suspension in Sport (gauges, exhaust, steering)
Suspension in touring because I'm scared of bending a wheel.

I keep it on sport mode. To be honest I can't tell a difference in the throttle mapping between any of the modes. I had MRC on my 2016 Camaro SS and could barely tell the difference between Tour and Track so I didn't bother to get it this time.

Sport, unless it is raining, then I use weather. At the Spring Mountain driving school they convinced me of the utility of weather mode in the rain!

Sport mode almost 100% of the time (unless a particularly rough road). But I have Mag suspension, so it makes a very noticeable difference.

I'm a little confused about the fuse pull. I thought setting the engine sound management to track achieved the same thing.

When the fuse is pulled the NPP valves remain open all the time. Track mode programs the NPP valves to open earlier and more often based on throttle position but they still close up during low throttle application.

Sport probably 90% of the time. Weather during Florida frog stranglers, Tour on a terrible road, Eco when hunting a gas station and Track when the road is fun and empty.

‘15 Z51 w/ mag ride and NPP.

Wet I use weather.

Twisty curvy roads I use Sport. In my area, about 50% of the time.

Touring on straight roads or interstate or in town. About 40% of the time

Sport mode all the time. I changed my stock exhaust to Corsa Extreme and now the car sounds as good as it looks!

Hmmmm, I just leave it T and drive.
