So what would the MPG be when running the Auto in Manual Mode all the time?
manual or auto mode don't have anything to do with AFM. that system kicks in under low-load conditions on the highway. if you're in manual mode, cruising in 6th, you'll more than likely be in 4-cylinder mode, unless you put your foot in it to pass someone.

Plus, stability becomes an issue at those speeds. But, remove the limiter and they should pass 180 mph given enough open track or tarmac.
fixed
