Does Driving with DSC off conserve gas?
I was wondering if people are driving with the DSC on or off? Also, would it have an affect on mileage? I've been driving my car with DSC off and so far I've been getting about 18-19 miles per gallon. This week I will try driving with DSC off and tally up my mileage. Hopefully things will improve.

Good question and the short answer is yes..to a degree....under certain circumstances:p
An over active or over use of the ABS, traction control or DSC will decrease the MPG. It does this by a parasitic power loss caused by the application of the brakes.
However, it very small. Around 0.1-0.2 MPG if the system activates a couple a times a day.
If you getting poor mileage it's not the DSC.
