I too have been using this feature with the Supercharger it does make a + effect on the mileage. I think due in part to not needing more pedal to get going.
The only shift point i find a bit long is the final 3 - 4 which occurs at or close to 60.
I use it alot and have over the 3 years we've had ours.

It's electronic control of the shift points and you can have twice the fun if you buy a programmer for about 3-400. It gets even better launch and worse gas milage.

I find that the only negative to using this mode is that the OD does not kick in until 55mph....so if Im in a 45mph area..and actually doing that speed, the engine stays in 3rd, or about 2300 rpm'ish

That's the beauty of it. Just press the button to turn it off!

What a difference. I drive in the city in gear 3 but there still is slow reaction time from my sut when trying to pass other vehicles etc. In tow mode and gear 3 my h2 seems like its always ready to respond immediatly. On the hwy I drive in D and leave tow mode off. Does anyone think that I am potentially damaging my tranny by driving the way I do in the city. I'll tell you guys one thing, its nice to have the reaction time from such a big heavy vehicle.

Conrad,
I was very surprised to when I accidentally discovered it.
I use it all the time when towing or hauling heavy loads, but what a diference when I have it on all the time! VROOOOOM!!!!!
Ricers eat my dust.
P.S. The last time I sat in Alec's H2, there was an overwhelming smell of Pledge.
