Better Gas Milage Using Power Switch

[xhybrdx]

My wife drove my GS450 and inadvertently placed the PWR/Hybrid/Snow switch in PWR. I have used the snow position before but never PWR (It seems to have more than enough power). So, I have been pleasantly surprised to find an increase in both performance AND gas mileage (better than .5 mile per gallon or so). Anyone else use this setting and get similar results?

If you drive aggressively anyway then yes, the PWR mode will yeild improved FE.

Thanks! Though I really don't drive aggressively.

Aggressive driving is relative to how mild others drive. If you're beating the EPA's stated MPG rating, you're driving mild. If you're not hitting the EPA's MPG rating ... well ... you get the picture.
