Auto vs. Manual
I get around 30 MPG average with my two 5-spd Aero's. I got a best of 36 MPG for a full tank under ideal conditions, 45-50 MPH with very little stopping plus a little tailwind. I get about 27, if I'm careful, with the CSE Automatic. My wife gets about 23 MPG with the Auto and around 25 - 26 with the 5-spd. A lot of it has to do with the way you drive. The 5-spd's seem to do much better, though. I bet I could make the 5-spd get 23 or less if I wanted to. ;-)
