Yeah It was pretty much the same story for me. I really wanted a manual and almost went for an Si, but in retrospect I'm glad that I didn't. The 5 speed automatic works really well too and with DFCO it's pretty comprable to driving a manual as far as fuel savings go. I can't wait to see what my tank average is going to be on this next tank. Traffic still stinks but I have been driving much more efficently than I did through the first tank. The first tank that I ran through the car the mileage was very low as I was pushing the car hard to make sure it was working properly and to find it's limits. Not to mention a lot of idling as I checked over... well everything. But so far as of this morning I have driven the same number of miles that I did when I filled up last time but I still have around a third of a tank of gas left, so it's looking very promising.

Oh and not to get too far off subject but I just sold the Bravada a couple weeks ago. Part of me is going to miss it, but the rest is just glad to see it go.
