I drive really efficiently. I noticed MPGs go down when I was driving in Eco mode. When I drive in Sport mode, I mostly coast, & MPGs go up. This is a great video to clear up some things - thank you!

Great vid. What you forgot to mention about eco, and the only reason why I use it in city driving, is it allows the transmission to shift up a bit earlier than any other mode.

Another great video, being from the southern US you don't get the snow like we do in Canada. Snow mode does make a difference when your driving on icy roads,through heavy slush or 2 foot snow drifts. It really slows down the throttle input so accretion is very slow which makes it really hard to do something stupid in bad weather. I agree about ECO being dangerous, I guess if you drove it in Eco all the time it would be fine because you'd be familiar with how the car drives in it, but if you rarely use it then it can cause some issues when you forget you have it on and the car doesn't accelerate like you are expecting it to.

Snow mode also limits the engine from getting into full boost on the vr30ddtt. It reduces how much power you can push out of the turbos. From logging I noticed it usually won't go over 1psi of boost

No it is not. Two different things... 4wd can mechanically lock all four wheels to spin at the same rate, and usually has a 4LO and a 4HI for the mechanical lock. While AWD mechanically and/or using the brakes and a computer apportions torque to the wheel or wheels that have the most grip. You DO NOT need a computer for 4WD, but you do for AWD.
