I got good Gas mileage with the auto when I had it... But my best was around 26mpg on a trip from Oceana, VA to Beaufort, SC... My average speed was anywhere from 90-100mph... I think I've discovered that in the auto the faster you go the better gas mileage you get... (to a certian point ofcourse)... With the 5 speed I get about 21 around town and on trips if I keep the RPM's between 2,500 and 3,000 I'll get about 26-28mpg... The 5 speed seems to have the opposit effect that the aust had... Oh well I don't need any more speeding tickets anyway...
