Performance "Handling Balance" set 100% front or 100% rear = better mileage than LR?

[theclutch]

For those with Performance, in Track Settings, if you put the Handling Balance to 100% front OR 100% rear only, would it improve your mileage? I'm wondering that since the Performance has the ability to make these changes, if it actually has the potential to get better mileage than the Long Range especially if you downgrade to the 19" wheels.

Thoughts anyone?

No.

The car still uses AWD as needed in a straight line. That setting is only for cornering.

And the car already defaults to RWD only in normal conditions anyways unless it loses traction or fast acceleration is requested.

The heat pump screams in Track mode for add'l cooling, you aren't going to get any efficiency improvements in Track Mode no matter what you do.
