I filled them in on their mistake after I bought the car.

lol, I have gone through the same problems.
When I went looking for mine they kept trying to sell me an automatic and I had to explain that the manual is more fuel efficient and has low rolling resistance tires.
Strait faced the sales guy then told me that I shouldn't have to worry about rolling over an automatic Cobalt.
I nearly died and had to explain to him what rolling resistance was in a tire.
Awesome run on the Cobalt, I was so happy when I had my first 45+ mpg run!
That is untill I found out it could do something like this........
(warning e-peen moment)
This was a 72 mile run to and from work after filling up on Labor Day morning, there was no one on the roads and I drove 42 mph all the way to and from work in perfect weather.
Rain and traffic on the following days lowered it but I still ended up with a 50 mpg tank.
