Something ELSE to remember and consider: most automatic-transmission vehicles are equipped with a numerically lower axle/final drive ratio (fdr) than similar manual-transmission vehicles.

Thus, the IDEAL situation for FE is to mate a manual-transmission with an automatic axle/fdr. Of course, you now have to also compensate for the differences occuring at the odometer and speedometer, but it's doable, especially with today's "pulse" vs. yesterday's "geared" odo/speedo sensors.
