The Midland 5sp has troubles, not very stout from what I've read.
I've read that some guys get as high as 44 mpg in stock form has to be Hyway, any truth to that? 
Thanks,

The the first gens have most of the bugs gone after late 04. Yes the 5sp was originally intended for a lower hp model and they don't last. Also the autos have a limited life span. As to not get off topic here to bad if you want more info you more then happy to PM or email me.
What is killing me is there European diesel model gets 65mpg
