I've always owned a good stick shift fuel economy car. First was a '63 Rambler American 220. Second a '70 Datsun PL521, both capable of 25 mpg. Third was a '76 Datsun B210 capable of 36 mpg. Fourth an '82 Nissan Sentra that got up to 45 mpg.

I've also owned several AT FSPs concurrently with the fuel misers. The FSPs included a 12 mpg '59 Buick Electra, a 5 mpg (winter - 11 mpg summer) '77 IHC Scout II, and a 15 mpg '87 Chevy Astro van. Once I started hypermiling, the Astro got 20-22 mpg, but was still a FSP.
