How many average MPG does these modes provide?

Thank you.

too many variables at work for average MPG. Sport mode will be the least efficient since it is using exclusively the gas engine (battery control will be worse due to the gas engine being used to do 2 things at once). Eco would be the most efficient (that's another hybrid mode), followed by hybrid (comfort default hybrid mode). Not sure where adaptive would fall, but it should be more on the efficient side.

You can also turn on anticipatory hybrid drive in general settings and use the iDrive navigation which will switch modes between electric and hybrid depending on your battery capacity.

You'll also charge your battery in each mode with battery control providing the most charge.
