Sport Shift Driving Lesssons
#41
i just want to put in my real quick...
i've used SS on and off, but after filling my car up last time, i decided to use SS more than auto to see what kind of mileage i get...i've only gone about 120 miles since filling up, but have noticed my MPG are a lil better after using SS for 3/4 of my driving...right now i'm getting between 24-26 MPG mostly city driving, some highway...usually in auto for the same type of driving, i get between 22-24, sometimes 25...i'm not surprised i'm getting slightly better mileage in SS mode, since you get to control the RPM's a little more...
just wanted to add this info since i hadn't seen it discussed in this thread yet...

I am playing with the SS at times and its fun, but i still dont get it sometimes.
At times i will shift into 3rd, gas it and nothing will really happen, then kick into 4th and the car gets going. But in general 3rd feels the "Strongest"
