Default Tiptronic Mileage Comparison- Sport versus Regular setting

I am curious if anyone has noticed any difference in mileage with their tiptronics depending on if they select the Sport mode or the regular D mode. If the Sport locks up the converter quicker, you might argue that mileage could be better in Sport Mode for the same style of driving. . .

Default I find sport doesn't find the right gear unless i'm driving extremely spirited....

And i went through 3/4 of a tank in sport mode after only 100 miles on saturday (big DC Audi GTG with a long ride up and around maryland).

Sport definitely lowers my gas mileage compared to Drive...but then again, i'm only using sport when i'm driving...well, sporty!

With the same drive to and from work, I lost about 2mpg on the tank in Sport mode.

Sports mode seems has a jerky feel, car isn't as smooth - maybe 'cause it shifts at higher revs?

Default That is a big drop. . . I will stick with the regular position when I want MPG
