3.slow, auto E.C.T. advise

it just feels sooooo right to leave it in "power" mode. i dont drive around like a jerk, (maybe an 80 year old jerk..), i only commute about 8 miles to work, and most of that is in traffic that rarely gets above 60mph. it really only gives me about 500 more rpm's before shifting when you drive it easy, but it feels more normal than the normal mode. normal mode feels like it is under a bit of a load. is it going to hurt anything? is my fuel economy really going to suffer that much?

They wouldn't put it there if would hurt anything! If anything it will probably be better for the engine, not lugging it... I also notice it feels more "Normal" in power mode...:cheers:
