MPG difference with/without Traction control

Curious if anybody has put effort into discovering if there is any change in fuel economy when the traction control is turned off?
I notice a difference in handling/sense of road, but I've just started a new tank of gas with the intent of driving through the tank without traction control just to see...
Also, what are your thoughts overall on fuel with vs. without ethanol?
I guess that would be a whole other thought....

Curious... why not press Trac Off button every time you ascend to the Jag throne? As long as it is not raining/snowing, it seems that you will have more fun/more feedback...

Here's my fastest lap of the day (not a very good lap though), and there's probably a bit more roll as I'm pushing it harder.

Traction control makes a huge difference in MPG, leaving it on saves a lot of gas... I turned it off for a day couple of months ago, and got an average of 4 MPG:

REALLY really enjoyed those, thanks for sharing. Those other cars never knew what hit them.
