I noticed that same thing when purchasing our '07 SX4 with a "slush box." The MPG rating was better than that of the manual. That all changed with the '08 models. The manual received a new fifth gear, bringing it on par with the auto tranny. Fortunately, swapping out that '07 fifth gear with the '08 part is fairly easy. Those who have done this swap are quite pleased.
