MN 6 here.

Is Mom interested in gas mileage? 5th and 6th on my 2000 mile cruise gave me 28 - 30 mpg consistantly. I wonder if the automatic has gas mileage numbers like that.

You're not thinking the same thing are you? I mean, would you think less of me and my driving because I drive an auto?

Ha! got you fooled, I haven't owned an auto-trans since 1987! Why are you asking, if you don't mind me asking.

Hey Batman, suppose only REAL enthusiast drives a manual, what do you think about people with a Sequential Manual Gearbox found in Ferraris and BMW; because these SMG transmission can be swithed to Auto mode and drives like an auto. Its funny that I have a buddy that has a car with SMG trans and they preffer it over the Manual. Also its funny that a lot of a REAL enthusiast dont even know how to drive it.

CTS-V only comes with a manual, they make auto Vettes because they know lots of women buy them and old men. Flame all you want but how else do you explain it? I also have an M3 manual but I can understand SMG or paddle shift cars, at least you still can have some fun or feel somewhat connected.
