    Be sure to note the separate article there that actually goes
    into driving impressions; the info seems a bit scattered across
    various sections of text.

    Why anyone needs Power Mode for "leaving the tollbooth", though,
    is beyond me...

    It seems to be customary to depart a toll booth as quickly as possible as a means of jockeying position to get in front of the a-hole that was dawdling in front of you prior to your arrival. ;)

    Seriously, I'm not sure I get it either.

    I guess they have to beat the other cars from different gates as all are merged into one to two lanes.

    Sonny Corleone in The Godfather said this exact same thing and we've all seen how that worked out for him :D

    Lesson learned :p
