After months of ownership, I think I've settled into my driving routine by now. I regularly shift between modes throughout my drives. On commute days, although I have a good buffer for my drive, I still try to get the most out of my drive as far as economy and range, so mode changing is rampant. But even on days where I know I have plenty of battery, I still use ECO and 'B' for slowing down since it's more beneficial for preserving the brakes and providing a bit of regen.
Driving around all the time in B isn't a situation I find myself in a lot since it acts like an anchor dragging behind the car and reduces the coasting in D which would be more economical in many situations.
My wife was in the car with me the other day and asked why I was shifting so much. I simply hadn't noticed the habit before so I was curious if others had adapted this driving style as well. I commuted with a manual transmission ICE for a LONG time, so I suppose it's not too foreign to me to shift constantly.
