not possible?!? Are you serious? even the epa site lists the manual wtdi jetta ith a higher mpg than the auto.

Look, Manual is simpler/less expensive/less weight/more efficient/easier to get it to do what you want/more reliable.

Manual is the standard. Auto will always be trying to catch up, at great expense, stupid idea from an efficiency perspective.
