Light weight, low coefficient of drag, gearing, and how you drive it. Gearing is why the autos consistently get higher mpg than the manuals. How you drive it plays a huge part. Tcoat hits mpg numbers in his manual that I can't even dream of, because we drive our cars completely differently. He spends many hours a week with cruise control at freeway speeds. I spend most of my time either going stoplight to stoplight with a lot of 0-60, or stop and go under 25 mph.
