I'm going to overly simplify this... disreguarding wether accelerating faster saves more gas or accelerating slower saves more gas... SO basically if you're use to using 1/3 throttle to accelerate in normal mode you'll use 12 mpg but when you're in sports mode and accelerate using 1/3 throttle it might be equal to 1/2 throttle in normal mode hence you're using more gas. BUT if in sports mode you use 1/6th throttle then you might be using the same amount of gas as 1/3 in normal mode... Ka-peesh?

What in THE hell did you say????

Well, it doesn't help that I'm buzzed while I'm reading this.

My roommate fancies himself a bartender. He made us a daiquiri and brought out some coronas.

Nope. Didn't help a bit. I'm starting to sober up with some food in me. One more time, plain simple english without the math. My head is still hurting from Znod's ramblings as well as everyone that participated in the inane thread over in the Lounge.

It's all good. I'm taking my car to the dealer tomorrow to get this DTC issue worked out. Hopefully that will fix things. Also, I was having trouble programming my garage door openers. Does anyone have that problem? I followed the instructions, but it doesnt seem to activate it for some reason. ?
