Thymeclock, yeah you are right about not being able to upshift early with the hold button. I guess I just have to stick to footshifting my car.

What are you talking about? The EPA highway estimate for a 2004 Chevy Aveo sedan with automatic transmission gets only 31 highway, not 37 so it's not "excellent" highway mpg. The city estimate is 23 and I do agree that it might be inflated, but overall, compared to other cars sold in the same year the Aveo was not brilliant in city or highway fuel economy.
