Yes, the sporting gearbox is definitely shorter. And yes, I've tried moderate P&G, traffic permitting. Mostly pulsing from traffic lights and coasting to the next ones, to sharp turns, speed bumps etc. Nothing extreme, really. But I think it helped a lot to get 6.5 l/100km in mixed driving. When compared to the same 6.5 achieved mostly on the expressway it seems quite nice.
Anyway, I was on my way today to the "Festival of Science", where I wanted to attend a lecture on aerodynamics of fast cars, then suddenly:
Quiz for the observant: What is wrong with this picture?
Hint: I didn't make it to the lecture and my wallet is lighter by $80 just for getting the car to the mechanic.
