Dadhawk, what's the earliest it shifts into OD? I have a feeling it'll hit 50+MPG if you could get it into 6th at 35mph or even 45mph.
Honestly, I don't know. When you're in "D" and standard shift mode, the shifting is so smooth in the higher gears I don't even notice it. Obviously, I could do it manually or just need to pay closer attention. I'll do that if I rerun the test this weekend. I'd also be interested in what others are seeing so we can get a baseline. I suspect each car will be slightly different.
