RE: Turn off TCS?
This makes me wonder, though...
I wonder if my gas mileage would be different for driving with the TCS on/off. I mean, in theory, the TCS is supposed to modulate the amount of power to the rear wheels when it feels it's losing traction...If it's on all the time, it could be cutting power to the rear tires (again, in theory!).
Now, if I turn it off and drive with the TCS off, am I going to get worse gas mileage? Hmmm...That's an impromptu study I may have to partake in for 2 tanks of gas, one driving normal everyday driving with the TCS on, and then the second tank normal everyday driving with the TCS off...I wonder if it makes a difference?

We should all learn to drive without the training wheels. Turn the TCS off unless you're in traffic in sucky weather. I've yet to put my SUV into 4WD this winter despite the snow and ice. Use it when you feel you need it.
