Which is the Fuel-Saving Mode, E or P Mode?
2 Answers
E mode is the fuel-saving mode. Below is a related introduction to the differences between E mode and P mode:1. Different Modes: P mode is the fast mode or heavy-duty operation mode, while E mode is the economy mode.2. Different Usage Scenarios: P mode is mainly for heavy workloads, whereas E mode balances both workload and fuel consumption.3. Different Energy Consumption: In P mode, both engine speed and pump flow rate are high, resulting in relatively higher fuel consumption. In E mode, the main pump flow rate is partially reduced to pursue lower fuel consumption, and this mode is generally used for regular operations.
When I first drove a car with E and P modes, I was also curious about which one is more fuel-efficient. The E mode stands for Economy mode, which is designed to save fuel. It makes the throttle response smoother, shifts gears earlier, and keeps the engine running in the efficient zone for longer, naturally reducing fuel consumption. I tried using E mode on the highway for an extended period, and the fuel consumption decreased by 1-2 liters per 100 kilometers, which is very cost-effective. If P mode stands for Power mode, it provides faster acceleration but burns fuel more aggressively, so it's best used only when you need extra power for overtaking. Choosing E mode for daily driving can save a lot on fuel costs and is also more environmentally friendly. Once you develop the habit, it also extends the engine's lifespan, reducing maintenance concerns.
