Does traction control save gas? I usually have it off in my charger, but recently ive kept it on and have been getting better gas mileage, anybody have the same thing? Or know if theres really a difference at all

Thanks
Just very curious!

From what I understand, traction control kicks in only under extreme conditions, under regular city or highway driving conditions it should not make any difference.

Depends if it's an electronic throttle cut or ABS brake activated traction control. Throttle cut might save gas if you regularly have wheel spin at stop light (lol), brake activated will definitely cost you more gas. Is the charger drive-by-wire? Most likely, the mileage gain is in your head cause you're being conscious of it now.
