S Mode and mileage difference on/off

You can do a quick test on it.

1. Fill up your tank to max
2. Drive for 50 miles normally in S mode. Fill up and see how many gallons you used
3. Drive for 50 miles normally without S mode. Do the same step 2.

Personally I find using the S mode will decrease the mileage, but it really depends on if you do a manual rev-match when you downshift or not.

Shifts at 6000 -7000 rpm's tend to be bad mileage no matter how you slice it.
