I've been experimenting driving with the "No Recuperation" setting and I have to admit that it is much superior to "Normal Recuperation" in the driving characteristics and energy consumption. My 100-mile test yielded a consistent 5% decrease in consumption (322 WH/mile versus 338 WH/mile). The only time recuperation is used is when the brakes are being applied. The car "coasts" so effortlessly on my normal driving route that I have to look to see if things are still enabled.YMMV

Awesome, thanks for quantifying it! I've been using that mode since about day 3, I love the feeling of the car coasting. Waste less energy as heat due to regeneration if you don't need to slow down. And, it applies the service brakes almost not at all, unlike the other two drive modes. Thanks for the stats, I'd figured it was very close to a 5% improved efficiency overall, but wasn't sure.
