But yes, XRs and T series for sure. I would have thought the VCT Fairmont Ghia also, but perhaps not (noting that you have a FG, I assume you don't have adaptive shift)

OK thanks for the responses. I have an oval space where it could have been so I guess either a) I don't have it (though I'm assuming that is unlikely as it a series III XR and I have been through the whole process of setting it) or b) some rotten so and so hasflogged my badge.

i would think if you have the economy /power button, you don`t have adaptive shift, my mates s1 fairmont does`nt have the button, perhaps the mont`s get it too?

I have it in my XR6 VCT and I'm going to blame it on my decreasing fuel economy (I may not exactly drive economically) :P can't be bothered doing the small rain dance to change it to either power or economy. The switches for them are better as you can change the setting a lot quicker and mid driving if you want

Yeah not having a button is a bit annoying and changing it manually is a pretty long process, not something you can do while driving. Maybe just build a shifkit into the power mode and you'll pretty much have the same thing.
