It'll be making a small difference. Probably not enough to show up above the usual variability in tank to tank monitoring though.

Yes my car has the manual shift mode and I have been using the exclusively. I actually achieved 41.7MPG on this past tank, my record is 41.9
Very nice. I drove my friend's Buick Regal turbo which has this, so I just went in the "manual" shift gate and regularly bap the lever forward to get it to upshift ASAP. Bap bap bap bap bap. It almost needs a little machine to keep tapping the lever for the driver.

Something I need to test out after this tank is if it is better to neutral coast or DFCO coast.
Depends whether you're trying to slow down or not.
