Sport mode MPG
#11
I ran sport mode consectutively for a few tanks and saw a drop in miliage of about a half to 1.5mpg every tank, doing the same routine and same pedal pressure. I'll post the data when I get home tonight if anyone cares to see. Also did "3rd" instead of D tests and a few others.

I had a thread about this a little while back. It does help if you are in town or on "hilly" roads. My wife uses it in here '04 all the time. City streets and highway driving. Her truck stays in Sport Mode all the time, my '99 goes out of Sport Mode when I shut off the engine, so I forget to put it back in when I turn it on. It does seem to help though. Here's my thread about it... got a lot of replies.

Statistical process
One of the ways to know if you are doing better is to run about a dozen or so tanks in each mode driving the same way, preferably in the same places. A statistical set should comprise of a data set of at least 30 of each but a dozen usually shows a trend. Bla bla yadda yadda I know I know! Should be called sadistics !
Could temperature have anything to do with it? I know there is a difference in Summer and Winter gas from the refinery.
This is interesting I would love to improve gas mileage on my 99 since I drive 80 mi to get to work and back . Most on the highway though. We should all gather data for awhile and post some results. Probably won't get many more miles but it may help.
