If you put the car in sports plus it seems like you don’t get all pop, crackles and overrun like you do if you just put it in sport. Am I missing something?

Nope--that's the way it works.
The pops and crackles waste a bit of fuel and Sport+ doesn't allow that.

Worth the price of the Sport Chrono right there.

But one interesting observation is that my car uses more gas in sport+ than in sport mode, even though sport+ does not have the crackles. Anyone know how this works?

Your foot is full of lead.

S+ holds a lower gear than Sport where available

Lower gear higher load = more fuel

If we leave the fact that the pdk behaves differently depending on mode it is pretty logic


In Sport the gas pedal has a higher sensitivity, so depending on how much gas the pops use you could get good mileage.
But you have to be really easy on the pedal


Sport+ on the otherhand has the same sensitivity as normal But (!) the turbo always produces boost.
More air in to the engine = more gas in to the engine.
