disabled it... mileage went UP for me... by about 2 mpg...
all depends on your driving routine/habits tho...
I drive 60/40 city/highway... 75 miles a day....
and I'm averaging 20.5-21mpg....
whereas before, with the DOD on, I was getting about 18.5...
and the vibration the other guys are talking about is, if you're on a highway, and getting off an exit ramp... as you slow down, you'll feel the engine vibrating when it goes into 4 cyl mode as you brake/decelerate... if you take it out of drive and put it in 3rd to disable the DOD, it stops...
and if yours doesn't do it now, then just wait, it will... you probably don't have enough miles on your cars yet...

highly recommend having it disabled. I am so much happier with my car without it. No annoying vibrations, shitty exhaust noises, and the lifters dont make the noises alot if us have dealt with. Also DOD is only supposed to improve fuel economy by about 12%. With mine disabled my fuel mileage seems better around town and just a little lower on the highway.

if your letting it warm up with the key in it then your avg mpg will drop alot because it sitting at 0mpg the whole time its warming up. when u start it with the electric start it doesnt affect it cuz the DIC is not on. But if your getting 9.6 you gotta be driving her pretty hard.

I went ahead and left DOD on for now, if i decide against it i might have it taken off on a later date. I cant believe the difference the tune made though. The car feels a good deal faster. Only thing left is springs/rockers/rods 
.
. A 2 page thread just to leave DoD on? lulz.

I wanted to see how DOD was after the tune and honestly many of the negatives of it went away. I still want to disable it on a later date though. Really i dont think im actually in 4 cylinder mode much anyway.

Thanks, i think i will have it removed at my next opportunity, i actually kept track of me highway 4cyl mode miles vs the miles i put on driving around town and im at about 25% highway so i think the gas mileage argument is out the window.
