Do you see the "trac" light flashing in the odometer panel? If you don't see that it isn't doing anything. The only time low speed traction control is working is at speeds below 35 mph and only if one wheel is detected to have a higher speed than the rest due to slippage. The low speed traction control pulses the brakes to that wheel to control slippage. Even under marginal conditions it wouldn't work all the time, and under normal driving it wouldn't work at all.Either your unit is defective, or some other factor is coming in to play. The other possiblity is that you have a mismatched set of tires and the system is detecting the difference in diameter. The trac light would be flashing if this was the case. Dean

What I am saying is that when it is off(traction off) vs. when it is on the mpg's are different. It wouldn't have come on cause it was dry both up and down. I have been averaging the same all the time until I decided to do this. In my opinion the traction control influences the mpg's. Nothing is abnormal about the car....just had it serviced. I'll let you know for sure after I do this similar test several times.

When you drive toward the equator (south) you are going up hill, thus poorer gas mileage.snicker, snicker ;0) ------------------
