So, you sure you don't mean that 82% of Americans don't own a manual? Or maybe it's that 82% of cars owned by Americans are auto? I find the provided statistic to be un-plausible based on knowing quite a few people over the age of 50 or so...

I find this to be the most effective solution when I need to get it up a hill. Also effective with speed humps and the like.
