Hey Turab,
Where did you get these numbers? They seem wayyyy to high, and way too disproportionate from the American numbers. Maybe 31mpg highway, but not 41... Although, I wouldn't complain |

You should get way better mileage on the highway with manual trans if you don't drive with a lead foot.

I don't know about "much better". 31mpg would be pretty good for a 304Hp V6 to start with. But 41mpg? That's getting close to a Prius!!!

I am a slaesperson at cmp autos in calgary. numbers are straight off a sticker... auto trans is better than human response and hence better gas mileage

Wow, I am just shocked that it would be so good. In a good way that is
Thanks for the heads up then! |

So then they are exaggerated then. No one gets the mileage Transport Canada comes up with.

V6 manual at 70mph: 2025rpm V6 auto at 70mph: 1800rpm I don't think either will get 41mpg anywhere...
