...in mixed driving, probably 50% highway. Note that this is with 17" wheels/tires from an Aero in the summer and with snow tires in the winter. Using the stock 16"ers year round would have improved this at least 0.5 mpg. I'm not a lead-foot either, usually drive for efficiency with the occasional launch onto the highway or 3rd gear pass on the highway.
I figure the new 6 spd is better on the highway, (revs lower) even though the EPA sticker shows it being lower.
The automatic is probably better on the highway but worse in the city.
