extra gear wouldn't increase mpg on hwy as the 4th is high enough, the 5 speed auto just gets more accel. and better 2-4 gear speed mpg. as well as reduced friction being Aisin instead of ZF.
20" would increase fuel burn off the line in fact by dropping accel. - taller top gear is all that would increase mpg if aerodynamics are improved, and lean burn on light throttle using direct injection.
I easily got 29-31 mpg in the old 9-5 and 33+ in the new one on the highway according to the computer, but agree the MPH is low by 5% so loose some there - the newer 250hp and up loose none of the mpg except on top end but still get 30mpg if driven easy on hwy and yes AC does sap some when used.
