Traction control on or off for better mileage

Does anyone know if it makes a difference for mileage with traction control on or off on these trucks?

Traction control stops wheel slippage. If it engages then your driving too aggressive to be worried about fuel mileage.

Good point!

I wouldn't expect traction control to have any effect on fuel mileage.
