"Trac" stands for traction. If/when the drive wheels slip the computer causes a deliberate misfire of the engine to reduce power to the wheels. The purpose of that power reduction is to prevent more wheel slippage since once the wheels start slipping, you have considerably less control.

Leave "Trac" engaged, it doesn't cause any problems during normal driving.

Should the trac button be engaged for normal driving conditions in a 1996 Chrysler LHS and how does it affect my gas mileage?

The Traction Control should be left on at all times. It has no effect on gas mileage whatsoever. TC does not work until the system detects wheel spin.


Should the trac button be engaged for normal driving conditions in a 2002 Saturn sc2 and will this affect gas mileage?

Leave the Traction Control on at all times. The only possible reason you would ever need to turn it off, is if you were trying to unstuck a stuck vehicle. It will have no effect whatsoever on mileage. It simply applies the brakes and retards the accelerator when it senses a wheel spin. You mileage will be the same on or off. Leave it on.
