I've been reading lots of back threads and it's easy to find folks who beat 50 in diesels, in manuals, and in hybrids, but the most exclusive club by far seems to be folks who beat 50 in automatics that weren't hybrids or diesel-powered. If you've managed this, I'd be interested in hearing about what you started with, what you did, and how you got there. For full disclosure, I've got an an auto '95 Tercel with a best tank of 40 mpg this month, and am hoping to break 50 by next summer.
