Regardless of traffic conditions I can either drop it out of OD or punch the throttle and the tranny will downshift itself and I have all the power I need.
While I agree that most manufacturer's post higher epa ratings for their manual cars vs auto cars I seriously doubt that happens in the real world unless you drive the manual like Grandma.  |
I dont know, my friend and I have identical cars, except hers is an auto and mine is a stick. Drive 200 miles to school, 200 back on weekends we go home. Mine consistently gets better gas mileage (3-4 more) and I definately do NOT drive like a granny. Probably insignificant in the long run as both get over 35 mpg on the highway, but still, I'll take it.
