Yes for sure about the engine setting, and I can see why that is not "customizable". However, unless the other two impact emissions, I don't see why we can't change the default. The only one I could be remotely convinced that it impacts emissions is steering, though I could also be convinced that the lighter steering requires more energy to help, which would in fact be even worse for emissions.
