Any tips? (ie when to use sport / comfort / adaptive / eco etc)?
I've done a search online but many tips around the driving modes are specific to different models, fuel types, nature of journey and even country. For what it's worth my longest journey is about 7 miles each way for work, in 30mph roads (with occasional traffic), in the UK in my 750i.
And like I said, I wasn't expecting miracles, but expected better, hence me asking.

Man it's just tough to get more mpg in short trips. Maybe taking it easy on the throttle esp when accelerating should help - if you can resist the urge, that is.
