Does anyone know if there is a sensor that may need zeroed because of changing the angle of the vehicle? "ie yaw sensor" If anyone knows anything about this please let me know. The other thing I have noticed is better mpg on 87 octane vs 94 octane. That doesn't make sense to me. Can anyone explain that one? The fuels were from different brand of stations. Thanks in advance.
Try turning off the traction control and vehicle stability system. You'll need to shift manually but it works great. Press the traction control button and hold it for 3-4 seconds while parked and you'll see 2 lights pop up on the dash rather than 1.

It seems to have added about 3 MPG for me!
