On this leg of the trip I averaged 36.6mpg and 69MPH. On the return leg I will use the green mode exclusively and see what a difference it makes.

Just got back home. In the rain and less than optimal conditions I got 38.9mpg in the green mode. Averaged 65mph. I like the new cruise control. I set the speed and it stayed within 1-2mph even coming down the mountain today. On my R56 I had to run in 5th gear and still use the brakes on the long down grade. After the fog I ran into in the mountains I'm definitely enabling my rear fogs too!
