Um, I thought all Auto metros were 4sp? Also a word of note in terms of autos it doesn't matter if you have 3 sp or 30speeds your fe on the highway is only as good as your final drive ratio and lockup allows, meaning more gears doesn't help highway FE on an auto, since all autos have roughly the same losses.
