6th gear is a real shame because you would need a race track with a 5 mile long straight to use it, but it's still geared too fast for highway cruising. Basically, it's pointless for racing and useless for fuel economy.
Congratulations on your new ride and fantastic hypermiling.  |
Hey! An Oregonian.
I do like those TSX's. That is unfortunate about the 6th gear though. A lot of car companies just use things like that to sell cars. People hear 6 speed and come running. My Golf is a 5 speed, I never use fourth and rarely use third(Only on steep hills) so I understand the useless gears lol.
