    I manual shift mine. Great fuel mileage. 12th gear runs right around 1300. If I'm heavy and around hills I just leave it in 11th.

    That’s good… IF your top speed in 11th gear isn’t limited to something ludicrous.

    How fast are you going in 12th gear at 1300 rpm?

    Sounds like you actually have decent rear end gearing then.

    What's the good word on the highways and byways drivers? I'm out here in Ohio getting some fall like weather, after I've been BBQing myself running in and out of Texas for the last month or so. This cool off, combined with the start of college football, has me in good spirits.....
