It is the cheaper traditional automatic. Maybe I'm just stuck with poor urban driving performance since I really have little control over shifting etc. I've really been trying to reduce my urban driving as much as possible (combining trips, riding my bike when possible etc.) But recently I tried to get across town during rush hour, and was forced off the highways due to multiple wrecks, a Mavs game, 99 deg. temps, and just generally snarled traffic. Had to watch my 40 MPG tank average drop down to 36. Ugh!

I have noticed that if I can coast a really long way to the next light then my average can get back up. But a small hill or having to hit the brakes just destroys those gains.
