I use it about 50% of the time. I didn't notice any increase or decrease in fuel consumption between the two modes. I do like the feel of the acceleration in power mode, but don't really like the jerky downshifts when you hit the brakes.

Well I could't vote becuase I use it less than 25% of the time but more then never.

I run about 50%

When I have other people in the car I run in snow mode for a smoother ride.

*if* I were to race :uh: from a stopped position I'd use normal mode... but I'd never do that....

When driving solo and not in an off the line setting, I keep it in power because I like the quicker downshifts and longer gear holding, great for slowing around a turn and then reaccelerating without the transmission upshifting then having to downshift again.

so if normal gets u a better 1/4 mile time why not start in power mode for the acceleration and turn it off to normal to get the 1/4 mile timing later

I use my PWR ETC in the summer so I can have my window down not in the winter and snowing that will be a little bad

I use PWR mode about 50% of the time. I must admit I prefer PWR mode. It just makes the car so much more responsive to throttle imput compared to the other two normal and snow modes. Although if I have family in the car, I usually put in normal :D
