They have a lot of gear, at least my manual one does. Anything over 65 and it's really purring. I often end up in 5th gear by 30 mph shifting at 2000 rpm. At least it pretty effortlessly accelerates with all that leverage. I have heard the autos are actually better off road. Without a low range (at least in the US) the manual requires you to slip the clutch constantly and it just can't handle it. I get 25 around town with my manual but it doesn't improve that much on the highway at least at 65. I did get it well into the 30's once on the highway using pulse and glide, up to 70 down to 55. That probably took the steep gears out of the equation a bit.
