    Does driving only on eco mode decrease the hybrid battery life?

    ECOnomy mode would only help it. From what I've read that mode is supposed to
    run everything to preserve each section and make it last longer and provide more mpg.

    NO.

    Put it in ECO and then try to make it use only the battery.
    If there is a button for "EV" mode, push that too.

    I have not been able to get my C to stay in EV above something like 5 MPH.
