What I've noticed is that the (slightly) annoying deceleration issue goes away with the T/C off...I've been checking my UltraGauge, and the instant MPG is somewhat higher when coasting in neutral...

My Crossfire has a tank of gas last all winter, now that's what I call economic.
Is it me or are we seeing things in this thread that defy logic?

I have noticed with the car put into "W" and traction off I get similar to better results, so save gas and leave sport/summer mode off unless a mustang pulls up next to you

Well that makes sense, not the traction control thing though.

A lot of us with 6 spds start out in 2nd gear when it's appropriate ....that's sorta like what the "W" mode on the automatic does....starts in 2nd. No question this saves fuel.....
