How often do you switch to Sport mode?

I find that I barely hit the toggle once a month. I enjoy it when I do but my bank account says save the fuel.

I'm kinda envious. I wish fuel would drop back under $6 a gallon in Canada.

Sport+Auto would have an impact on fuel economy, however if you drive sport+manual I don't think there are any differences. In fact you can shift earlier and save gas.

Curious as to what the difference is with Sport in Manual mode if your just changing the gears anyways? Thought Sport made more a difference in Auto mode?

i'm usually always in sport manual, and i see usually 3-350kms to low fuel light in the city... on that note what are you guys getting for milage?

i randomly will put it in normal manual when i'm feeling lazy lol

as for the difference between manual modes, shift speed... i hate how slow it shifts in normal

I now stay in NORMAL mode most of the time - I really like my NORMAL mode now. That might have something to do with the 50+ flashes invested in reworking the SST tuning tables, lol.

Sport Mode is the only mode I drive on along with ASC off. Only time I EVER EVER in Normal mode... It when I'm on the freeway to enable cruise control and even at that I'm still on Manual Normal ASC off.
