Do you other TDI owners with DSG drive in " S " mode ?
I drive in D most of the time ... I only use " S " mode
when I was going down to santa cruze thru those tight
uphill roads...

How detrimental is " S " mode going to do to my MPG ?
In D mode I get 37-38 mpgs ....
while its ALOT more FUN :thumbup: in S mode ...
do you folks think it'll drop me into the 27-28 mpg zone ?
:23: opinions

I'd say the same, but clarify that it's when cruising at speed, not just during acceleration. Unless I'm on the highway, I'd expect cruising (non-accelerating) rpm's to be sub 2k. With S, it doesn't shift till way higher. I too drive most of the time in manual mode.

The S is nearly perfect for track/auto-cross use. That's what it's meant for, not cruising around... S is very aggressive for street use. ;)

With Stage II, S is always in the powerband, and it's quite addictive. :thumbsup:

well ... I guess I now know the when to use S ...
so I guess I'll just go to manual mode / down shift to pass
a car rather than S mode ...

I think you have me confused with someone else. I drive a gasoline GTI.
