Which mode of the Leiling Hybrid is the most fuel-efficient?

The EV mode of the Leiling Hybrid has the lowest fuel consumption. This is because, under normal circumstances, the Leiling Hybrid EV mode uses electric power to provide propulsion, and only switches to engine power when the battery is insufficient. Therefore, the fuel economy in EV mode is the lowest. The ECO mode of the Leiling Hybrid alternates between electric power and traditional engine power to provide kinetic energy, which can also save fuel to some extent, but the EV mode is the most fuel-efficient, consuming almost no fuel. For daily use, the Leiling Hybrid typically employs ECO mode. The EV mode is purely electric-driven, supplying only electric power for the car's movement. When the battery is low, the engine will activate to provide power and simultaneously recharge the battery. The Leiling Hybrid ECO mode consistently uses a combination of electric power and the engine to deliver sufficient power for the vehicle. The power sources differ across driving modes, leading to varying driving experiences. Since the EV mode relies solely on electric power, the performance is relatively weaker compared to the robust power provided by the engine. However, the Leiling Hybrid ECO mode strikes a balance between fuel economy and sufficient power output.
I've been driving the Leiling Hybrid for two years now, using it daily for city commuting, and the Eco mode is definitely the king of fuel efficiency. It makes the throttle response gentler, not as sharp as in Normal or Sport modes, resulting in smoother starts and acceleration, which helps avoid fuel wastage. Especially in traffic jams, a light press on the accelerator is enough to maintain speed, and when the battery is sufficiently charged, it quietly switches to EV mode for coasting. My average fuel consumption is as low as around 4.5 liters. I remember a while ago when I went on a long trip, using adaptive cruise control combined with Eco mode on the highway, cruising steadily at 90 km/h, the engine didn't have to work too hard. Regularly check that the tire pressure isn't too low, around 0.25MPa is ideal, reducing resistance and saving a bit more fuel. Developing the habit of lightly pressing the brakes also helps the energy recharge faster.
