Hi folks,

My Volvo has a winter button, which starts out slowly from stops, despite how much you press on the gas. However, it's sounds like the engine is working harder, despite the RPM being less than 2000.

Has anybody ever checked to see if this helps gas consumption? Just curious....

TIA
Mike
