If you're doing FI catback does G3 make a difference?

Based on what I've read in these forums, the drone tends to be worse on 7at cars. My car is also a 7at, and if I leave it in D or DS mode, the car always shifts to the highest possible gear. This is great for fuel economy, but as you've noticed, it puts you right in the middle of the headache-inducing "drone zone."

To counter this, I've started driving in M mode all the time. By manually shifting the car, I can keep it in a lower gear to avoid the drone. In addition, the lower gear gives me better throttle response when I need to accelerate.
