Come on 5-speeds lets toot our own horns! (not to mention the crawl ratio) oops did I say that out loud?

Yup. 5-speed manual. I am fairly casual driver. No strong starts. I run 87-octane gas. Under 75 on the highway. Commute to work (25 minutes) is mostly highway. Not very much stop and start. After about 8 fill ups (about 3600 miles on her), I average just above 19mpg. Can't complain.
