And, I always take my gas mileage with a calculator, not with the onboard readings.

I don't get as good in Sport mode because I can't restrain myself from "spirited" driving

The only time I use Snow Mode is when I'm driving up on my ramps. In any other mode the rear wheels spin and my F wont go up on the ramps. I have not, however, tried to get up on my ramps with my new Continentals, they have more traction than my OEM Michelins.
