Re: Group Buy - Predator & 180 Thermostat
Yep, SKiDs is right. It's a trick used by car companies to "force" the car to shift to a higher gear more quickly if it's being driven gently and thus force it to get better MPG. Accordingly, they get a better MPG rating from the EPA and the consumer saves on Gas Guzzler tax (The skip-shift is responsible for us saving $400 on gas guzzler tax from $2,100 to $1,700)
The whole reason for wanting to DISABLE it is so that you're not at the mercy of when the skip-shift feature wants to block you out of 2nd/3rd gear and you can just shift as you want when you want. Though if you have your foot in it at every single light you'll never hit the skip-shift feature ;P
