Slowly ramping up my new to me car search in the < 10g range. Would like to buy in the next few months. I've pretty much settled on a 1LT RS for a bit of style but still respectable mpg (compared with the eco) Im wondering if the types of commutes would be enough to allow the 6mt to fully excel in the mpg dept or if Id be just as well off with the auto? Plus, Im finding it difficult to find manuals w/in a reasonable distance in my color preference( 1. Autumn metallic, 2. Blue topaz, last resort one of the red's)
My current commute is 20.5miles one way. 10mi @55, [email protected] w/1 light, then the remaining 7.5 back @ 55 with 3 turns in last mile or so.
I'm hoping a rumor of a better job opening comes true(and i get it) though that wouldn't be til mid/late summer which would be 33miles 1way. 10mi @55, 6 @ 35 with a couple lights, then the remaining 17 back @ 55 with few midsize hills and 2 lights.
In the warmer weather I typically see 17.5mpg/tank with my Dmax and current commute. I'd like to double that (35-38mpg/tank) to be entirely happy.
Thoughts? Thanks.
