Anyone know if driving it in manual-shift mode is the same gas consumption as DS mode (without the manual shifting)?
I've been doing some manual shifting and obviously the acceleration is a ton better with the allowable late-shifting. Is this exactly the same on gas as DS mode? I ask because DS still feels more powerful.
