Boo on worrying about mileage...who cares when you can get gas so cheap at over 4 bucks a gallon.

I think that it awesome that Garm unless I am mistaken still gets in the mid 20's with the amount of balls his LB has.

Only reason I bought the Yaris. I was going broke paying $5 a gallon for premium gas in 2006. I would still be driving my Saab Viggen if I could have afforded it. I couldn't. I traded it and $3 grand for the Yaris, and have spent thousands less on gas and maintenance. If I had a decent job I would have put the $3 grand into the Viggen and it would be making over 300hp. I couldn't, and still can't.

Now a 6 speed transmission with close ratios is good for both keeping the revs up during racing and keeping the revs low for gas mileage.

Thread resurrection...

That depends on what you currently rev at 60mph. I'm turning 2900 in 6th compared to 2600 with the 5spd. Gas millage is roughly the same on the highway and better in the city because I can shift so soon.
