Not sure I understand the reference to parking :confused:.

The 100HP is a fantastic little car with amazing levels of roadholding and performance and astonishing brakes. It sips fuel at a totally acceptable rate for a small car, but has a turning circle about the same as a Range Rover!
 
There is definitely something odd about the outputs and fueling maps of this car. I think there are two totally different fuel maps and these bear no resemblance to each other. Use of the accelerator in each mode at the same revs has a totally different effect. If its intentional it is at least odd and difficult to get used to. I suspect if we all operated the car as the engineers intended they would be fine. I just havn't worked out how best to do this...... YET.

The power graphs don't surprise me at all the torque value wobbling up and down explains a little of what is going on. It suggests the fuelling maps a re a bit odd.

I find driving a little faster and with a bit less care is actually more economical in Normal mode. In ECO its a totally different story. I wonder if an expert could open the fuel maps and see what exactly is going on. I am sure there is a lot of room for improvement, though what effect this would have on engine life is another matter.
