yep, cant help it, find my thumb searching out that magic button every time I drive lately. who needs good mileage? I like the shift pattern and I live in NC now, home of left lane nappers and some sweet twisty back roads.
makes my eco boost git up and go !! wish my old knees had a sport button

Oh I use it at some point every time I drive.
for some reason I feel "guilty" about using it and limit myself to a few miles. Guess it's that internal guilt about growing up in the 1980s and listening to my Dad yell at me for winding out 1st gear too much in our 100hp 1984 Prelude. "You're wasting gas, damn it!" He he...I need to let that go.

Use mine often, even the wife likes it (she has a 14 Mustang with the Coyote). Life is short, enjoying it to the fullest with smiles is priceless!

I find myself using it more and more frequently. Especially on my commute to work or running errands. Really helps when you need/want to whip around traffic or make a quick left turn with cars approaching.
Speaking of that... that was one of the main reasons I traded in my 2014 Tahoe for the F-150. I could be waiting to make a left turn, and tons of traffic coming so as soon as I'd see a gap, I would punch it and try to shoot that gap! Well, that f@$%?ing Tahoe would just sit there for 2 or 3 seconds before finally taking off and almost got me creamed a couple of times!
I LOVE the instant throttle response on my truck!

I'm in Calgary, AB, it's been hovering around the 80 cts lately, some cheap stations are below that, average is probably 80-83. Edmonton is probably slightly less, but still double what our southern neighbors pay
