You're good bro for the autos they have the “perimeters” set for better fuel economy because that's what the “American marketing industry” is all about that's why I drive in manual mode all the time. Also when you have sport engaged its really only effective when you're not cruising but I think that still wouldn't matter too because I believe “sport” just stays in gear longing but if the system sees you aren't giving it a certain throttle response it's gonna technically go back to trying to save gas for example when using the paddle on the drive mode you'll notice after like 10 secs or so when not using the paddles it'll go back to drive mode but I'm no technician so it's just based on my experience I have a built sc auto.
