Snow Mode
You drivers that DO NOT live in snow states are you driving in Snow Mode to conserve gas? Does the prolonged use of these over lets set a year straight hurt anything? Are you seeing any savings on gas in this mode?
Thanks
Thanks

It is not that great for the car to leave in snow or power mode for extended amount of time. These features are designed to either (power mode) advance timing or (snow mode) retard timing. This had been discussed many times in many threads.

And in every thread it has been discussed it is well known that it doesn't do -anything- with timing.
The only thing either mode changes is the programming of the transmission (shift points for example).
It has been proven in testing that normal mode is actually the "fastest" mode if you're flooring it, which certainly wouldn't be the case if power mode somehow "advanced the timing"

Waiting for rebuttal.
