Your SE is not a petrolhead

In the "Sport" mode, generally, the transmission will try to hold on to lower gear for a particular speed and change up at a higher engine speed. The converse is true for the "Normal" mode. So, it is inevitable that the fuel consumption would be worse in "Sport" mode. In any case, you have the option to be green or to drive with a grin on your face.
