nope. SS is only good for selecting the gear you want before passing or if your doing spirited driving on twisty roads

^^ That kills the gas soo much.. I use to do that when I got onto the highway..but then I started to realize how fast the needle was going down. After I floored it one time..the gas needle when hella down...pretty bad stuff.

I only use SS. I like being able to shift the gears on my own.

Use SS when you wanna own someone . Or when you wanna play around with your vtec. It's fun! But oh boy does the gas needle go down fast when you're in SS.
