How many of you make use of multiple maps? I left with five new maps.

1) Performance
2) Stock
3) Fuel economy
4) Valet mode (3500 RPM); apparently doubles as "launch control"
5) Anti-theft

* from highest-to-lowest performance is the typical map arrangement

I don't see using anything other than #1. Can anyone that has actually used the fuel economy map vouch for a significant difference? I'm guessing it wouldn't be so different than staying out of big throttle angles and in closed loop operation on the highway (I'm not sure where it breaks out of closed loop, but guessing near 60-65 MPH). My real-time indicators show 28+ MPG at an indicated 65 MPH. I really doubt I could sustain that for a long trip!

The valet mode is great, but the launch control function seems clumsy to me (compared to what I was used to on something like my R32).
