I save C for cruising on the highway mostly.. So I can take pics of the day's 16+ MPG. Don't see that too often.

I have it in C so people could hear the 6.2 accelerate (starting from second makes it growl more). When I pick up speed I put in into S so I can have quicker shifts as well as the additional engine braking when I need to come to a stop.

For the suspension, I keep it in Sport II. If my wife is with me I keep it on comfort.
