Please correct me if im wrong, but thats what I always understood was the purpose of the switch.
I don't know. Definitely gives you worse gas mileage because the trans doesn't up shift as much.

The power button takes my engine to 4k-5k before shifting. I use the power button all of the time because it eliminates the hesitation of downshifting during acceleration.
