Traction Control and mileage

Is there any difference in gasmileage for normal driving in normal conditions with or with out the traction control?

No...its only effects your car when you loose traction....actually it does cause with it off i spin the tires a little longer at exessive RPMs

TCS should not effect mileage.

RE: Traction Control and mileage

It could increase it by reducing wheel spin on a fast start or it could reduce it by reducing the car's speed when traction is lost similar to exessive breaking. Realistically you'd see more of a difference up and down removing or adding a microwave to rest inyour trunk.
