    I find it hilarious certain individuals on here think an automatic is going to get you the best mileage in a truck when its not even true in a little car

    They will save on wear and tear if you're throwing rookies in the seat, but Morehouse requires two years experience. Lost a couple real good drivers when their trucks came up for trade and they were going to get autos. I get this thing paid off and the 10 goes out and a 13 goes in.

    Well, for the record as one of those "certain individuals on here", I specifically purchased my Volvo 670 with the I-Shift and it wasn't for fuel economy, necessarily. I could care less about every going back to shifting gears.

    Really shifting gears and hitting the gas is one of the best parts I don't even like my cruise control
