Exactly, its locks out the 6th gear. I think the gas mileage is worst without the 6th gear.

Normal mode learns your driving habits.
Sport mode has no learning and is more responsive. I find it easier to control the car and thus mpg in sport mode.
There is no locking out of 6th gear going on in sport mode. I keep mine in sport mode all the time.
The one thing I don't like with the transmission is the tendancy to drop into first gear. I'm training myself to switch to snow mode when I expect that to happen so that I override the car.
