When I had an auto, I left it in sport full time.

Mine is sport mode at all times.
I drive a canyon every day to work and it reacts faster in sport. Too bad my baby is sick right now. I loaned my car to my 21 year old son and boom, BHG !!! : (

On my 86.5 i have norm and pwr which im assuming is the same as sport considering it's exactly what you explained. I use it full time... but sometimes when i get mad at my self for going fast and doing dumb things, i will switch it to norm in an attempt to punish myself or something lol. Im already driving with an SR22
 so i gotta be good. But there is a major pwr dif between the two.. i guess if im low on gas or something i might put it on norm in an attempt to keep RPM's down.

dannydavi...that made me laugh.
I ALWAYS use the trip OD and fill up my tank (no dollar or two at a time for me), and keep an eye on my MPG. I've tried it both ways, and it seems that in the normal (boring) position, I will get 1 more mile per gallon. So...I'd rather 'feel' the most power I can, so I leave it in the power/sport mode.

I have been in the mojave and through death valley. You can't put a dollar or two at a time because 2 bucks probably won't buy you a gallon. Some of the most expensive gas I ever purchased was on your side of kingman AZ.
