Oh, I get to drive the manual at times & the Elantra manual is wonderful. As for the automatic, it is geared 6% higher than the manual. Since I also use larger diameter used tires, my rpms get low on the highway, which is nice for those long drives & even for the stop&go&stop traffic jams.
But, as i said a month(?) ago, the manual is spectacular in the mountains & rural areas, even to the point that I feel I have a bigger engine in the manual car. Despite the bigger engine "feel" to the manual, the manual gets as good or better MPG than the auto.
