Hi everyone

may I ask anyone who experienced comparing the fuel cosumption of eco and sport mode in the motorway running 60mph and above? which one conserved more fuel? eco or sport?

I have not compared eco to sport yet but I am doing some tests over a monthly period. Road types the same i.e. town - motorway - country using dci. 1st month on eco - averaged 46.6 mph. 2nd month (part way throught) on normal - averaging 48.0 mpg this month so far.I'll keep you posted.

Had my Juke around a month now (1.6 Acenta petrol).
Started out mainly jn NORMAL drive mode, but having played around with the SPORT and ECO settings too, I find I leave it in SPORT mode most of the time.
Probably knackers my mpg, but the throttle response is fabulous.
Then you drop it back into ECO............ OMG - it's like youve left the handbrake on!!!

Leaving mine in sport mode all this week and already think that I've used a little less petrol than would have been the case in it's often Eco mode.

Could it be that that I was tending (having) to overdrive an unresponsive engine setting?

I find that eco mode is OK at stop/start driving but with general driving, it gives me less mpg than normal mode. I also find that air temperature and air density has a marked affect on my mpg. I have not done any tests in sport mode as 99% of the time I have a German Shepard and wife in the car. I also find that the same journeys have marked different mpg figures when the car is driven in the same style with up to 10mpg difference.

So Mr and Mrs German Shepherd aren't fans of speed?

When I first got my Juke in 2010 I used the 3 different modes with 3 tankful's of fuel in each mode. The outcome was that sport mode gave me a slightly better mph. I am putting this down to the Pennine roads, I was finding that I had to drop down to 3rd gear in eco and normal on really steep hills, or you put your foot down to get a run at a hill to avoid dropping a gear thus using more fuel. I have kept her in sport ever since and averaged 38.5mpg over 29,000 miles (actual fuel to miles travelled) compared to the computer readout of 39.6mph.

I have a 1.6 Petrol Acenta Sport (Manual) & I agree with others that when "Sport" mode is selected, MPG improves. I use a mixture of A & B roads on daily commute & generally can't travel above 50mph. According to the car's Trip Computer, I easily average 49 MPG.
In "Normal" mode, it drops to about 46 MPG - Presumably as throttle response is better in "Sport" mode & I have to change gear less + Am lighter on the accelerator pedal?

Has the new dig-T Juke altered all this. I had the previous, normally aspirated 1.6 and change into sports mode was significant. I used it mainly for quick getaway in city traffic. Latest 1.2 turbo does not feel different between normal and sport and does not give me the quick getaway I previously experienced
