Maybe a stupid question, do you get better gas mileage if you turn traction control off? Is it better to drive on the interstate with Traction control off? I haven't read that far in the manual yet.

Traction control is transparent to you till it senses loss of TRACTION. Under NORMAL driving conditions you should leave it ON. Has 0 effect on MPG since it's not doing anything 99.9999% of the timie.

The competitive mode is the only thing you have to be stopped for and thats in 2000 and earlier I think but 1999 for sure. Traction control is on and off at will. Leave it on unless you want to do a burnout and keep in mind when the traction control is off the active handling is off also.

(When in Comp mode TC is off AH is on)
