    Howdy Ya'll from DFW

    Bought my wife a 2019 Mirage LE.
    Love the car as it gets good Gas Mileage, but wish it had more power.....however, she does have a lead foot, so the car is perfect for her. LOL.

    Love Forums and glad to be here.

    Welcome to the forum!

    I assume it's the CVT? Some drivers say using "B" mode gets you a bit better engine response (higher RPM), at the expense of fuel economy.

    Yes, CVT. I find turning off traction control greatly helps with response and not affect the ECO mode of the trans. My wife drives 30 mi one way to work and it has increased her mileage from 30-32 mph to 36-38 mph.

    Welcome! You'll get even better mpg after a couple thousand miles too! The sweet spot is 2000 rpm for best fuel economy.
