anyone drive with ECT set on power?
When the ECT set on normal, I just could not get my car to pass 4500rpm because the car will upshift. Yesterday, with the ECT set on power, I was able to get it up to 6000rpm and the car pulled great. Any negative affect if I leave the ECT on power for extended time? I know the gas mileage will be very bad

Those 20's really drag your MPG down. But at least your car looks good. 
I also drive with ECT on Power 24/7. I average about 17mpg city driving and ~22 mpg highway.
