Yes, people are saying they are noticing a marked improvement of 2%-3% in gas mileage by deactivating the esp but keep in mind its there for your safety. I would only deactivate it during dry, good road conditions.
Besides turning something off that only actually does anything when wheel slippage is detected shouldn't affect gas mileage.In my opinion this rumor doesnt make sense from a logical stand point
If you agree that the answer I provided is correct please remember to "accept" and/or mark it as "helpful" so I know I'm doing a good job. Thank you, I would really appreciate it.
