why wouldn't it kick into o/d?
it would, i just said it really confusing.. lol

long story short... ur at the mercy of your tranny with autos and gears. with a manual u can put yourself in a gear that will keep u in low rpms in any speed under 40

There's a common perception about the fuel economy of traditional manual-shift vehicles that's a bit misleading. "It used to be that a manual transmission had significantly better fuel economy than an automatic, but now the difference is negligible," Omotoso says. "In fact, many vehicles today with a five- or six-speed automatic have better fuel economy in the city than [vehicles] with a five-speed manual. The highway mileages are also similar.

Whoa, things get so heated on here sometimes, but Steve has some good points and it kinda makes sense too. But all in all i truly believe no matter what gear size horsepower etc, that gas mileage is controlled by your right foot
