Electronic Controlled Transmission.

In the power mode, under the same gas peddle position, it raises the rpm about 500 r's before it upshifts. This puts the motor into a better power band (more torque).

I've tested it alot, and found that I always leave it in power position now for a bit more pickup around town, and the mileage seems to be about the same.
