Buy a Geo and shift wherever you want. Drive the Stang when you wanna have fun and not worry about gas mileage.

I disagree, sure the mustang is good for fun but thats not what its all about. During the week my mustang is used for transporting to and from work and I put on a lot of miles to and from, which cost money. Money doesnt grow on trees for everyone and gas cost money. Plus not everybody has extra money to spend on a geo. I have fun with my car on the weekends and dont worry about the gas. Some people have mortgages, insurances, bills and more bills to pay, so with that said I will worry about my gas mileage.
