I don't know if I'm the first, if I recall corrctly on of the Fiesta Forums members led me here. Hypermilling seems to work well. The autotrans is actually a manual trans with 2 clutches controlled by a computer. The computer will adapt to your driving. I just slip it in neutral and watch the tank fill up ;+).

It is waaay fun to drive and corners real flat. Ride is firm but not stiff. Yeah at 70-75 it may have an issue passing quickly but in 99% of my driving she gets and goes great. I have LOADS of fun on my TN 2 lane backroad commute to work. Granted I canspeed too much but, I don't slow down for the corners.

Later
