Default Power Mode

I was wondering how many drive regularly in the power mode? I find myself just leaving it on. Also, does it effect gas mileage?

Nope never use that mode before, but I would imagine it would waste more gas.

Your shift points are at higher RPMs in PWR mode, so yes you burn more fuel accelerating = lower mpg. On the highway, I don't notice much of a difference because there's not much accelerating going on, but in the city, that's when you'll see your MPG go down.

I tend to drive with power mode on at most times but I notice a loss of mpg difference more when I combine the power button with the sport mode button...
