Not totally , since DS raises rpm about 500 all the time and I'll bet your mpg will be correspondingly be reduced by about 10%. So, for every 10K miles driven in DS you'd use 40 more gallons or about $160 for 91 octane at current CA prices. So, I only need to drive 50K miles to recoup my $800 PPK investment vs. always driving in DS mode. You think?
