Didn't shift to 1st gear when stopped

Interesting thought on the downhill. There is a mild downhill slope where I came to a stop - I'll definitively be watch for a correlation out of curiosity.
I think the S5 SB tank is 15.3 gallons, and I will often see 455 after a fill up. So my DTE calculation is assuming a generous 29.7 MPG. I'm guessing the algorithm probably uses the MPG average from your last 50 miles or so, and a lot of my fill ups are after a long trip - so I could see having a recent short-term average at or slightly above 30MPG. I'd never be able to average that high over the entire tank though, so the 455 is more of a 'you wish' than actual result.

Does your JB4 mod changes the transmission map? It might have in order to gain a quicker start from zero MPH.

Gas mileage of S5

I remain pleased with this kind of economy.

Most people's gripe is that it doesn't drop into 1st on a rolling stop. That's a whole different topic / thread.

Does anybody else's S5 beside ArvX147 starts in 1 gear in auto drive mode? Personally, I would not mind starting in 2nd gear and give up that little bit acceleration for a smoother start.
The S5 is programmed for 1st gear upon complete stop regardless of D / S / M dynamic, comfort, individual, whatever.
If you come to a rolling stop and don't see 0 MPH on your dash, if you were in 2nd gear, you will remain in 2nd gear.
