8th Gen Civic - Concerns on fuel economy

[denot]

ah I remember now I've seen the "power" button on my uncle's ford...

I don't use it to gain power...I use to to force me down a gear so my revs are higher, be it for engine breaking (lol...ironic.. braking?) or general hooning in the festiva lol.

I use it daily when going down a hill where I have to stop at the bottom of etc.

Either way I find it nifty - use it or not, thats your choice, but having the choice is nice as opposed to not having it at all.
