People with automatics will know the ECT-s switch. So, what are people's view on this.

Basically, all I know is when i switch it on. My car seems to pull harder and probably drink a heap lot more fuel too.

SO, do you guys just leave it on while driving or only when it is "needed". Anyone done a test on how much difference in fuel consumption between switching it on and off?
