having it on n off has its advantages n disadvantages...leaving it off will leave u with more power.....lets say ur in traffic n u have od on when u want a more punch to the brakes push it off so that it "downshifts" for engine to slwo down hence teh name "engine braking"..leaving it on will let u have more mileage to the tank...ive tried both ways on one tank...
od on: 283 miles local plus highway od off: 250 miles local plus highway --------------------  |
