I use sport mode most of the time. Around town. Certainly whenever I am driving in hills, which is frequent where I live.
Around town I usually do not "manually" shift, but I will drop it into a lower gear for passing or big hills. I use the shifter a lot on curvy mountain roads.
I have not detected a significant difference in gas mileage between normal and sport automatic modes.
I think it is a great feature.
