I go full throttle just going down the street, and having the power button "on" kills my mileage on the highway. Especially on road trips, if my power button is "on" the power mode keeps my VX from shifting to Over Drive (4th) all the time, especially when using cruise control. Sometimes when I am in cruise control and the power button is "on" going around 70 or so, the VX stays in 3rd, but if I push the power button to "off" it immediately shifts into 4th (overdrive).
