The only thing ECO Pro does is persuade you to drive slower. The slow throttle response doesn't invite you to accelerate fast; when you drive faster than 130km/u it shows you a warning; etc.

When you're driving at a constant speed of 120km/u and you hit cruise control, it doesn't make a difference if you are in ECO Pro, Comfort or Sport when it comes to fuel consumption. So the 'saved km's' number in ECO Pro is a little bit BS. Basically it's psychology. Call it gamification if you will. "When you save fuel, you get more points"
