My driving is 95% highway. I'll take the auto with the longer ratio. We all know you can hypermile with the manual, but coasting to 25mph and shutting off and bump starting the car 25 times per trip gets real old in a hurry. I had to add 6 minutes to each leg of my work commute using those techniques. It is fun to see what the car can do....but very impratical.
