Seriously.. FML..
increase? what, if anything....well, my car streaks, like I drove 60 miles to speeddemon's house and back and that tank lasted me a whole 324 miles.......
on a full tank till the light comes on,
and some times, I get 240, it depends, but never worse than 200
after I put the intake and exhaust in, mpg improved like what 2mpg?
something like that
btw, love my AT, its rly useful when u have a chic in da car
I'm planning on taking out the tranny, take a peakabu and reinforce it, I got some AT transmissions lying around at my uncle's garage

I also blame myself though, I need to redline it AT least, once a day.. Or hour..

no, I think we're not skeptical, we just wanna see, lol
btw, guys, since we all ATs, I swear to u all, please please DON'T USE THE GOD DAMN AT!! use the manual shift, trust me, wayyyy WAYYY better Milage, the ******* AT drags ur damn engine and goes into 6th gear at like 45 mpg, and when u accelerate, it freaking dumps loads of fuel into a higher rev and 2 seconds later, that power is gone and ur back in 6th, screw it all
and , even though I know we all hate speeding(nah, no one does) but "cruising" at about 100mph on 6th gear actually gets u WAYY better mpg
my dad is in town and I get like 210-240 mpg on my car because I cant drive it fast, so im stuck in 5th gear 3-4k rpm going 70 on the damn highway.........
da faster, da better the milage
NO officer! I'm not "saying" to speed, its just.......SORRY NO!!

I've driven an AT 8 and tried the manual thingy... I didn't like how it lagged for about a second.... anyways, wouldn't taking off your foot on an AT while shifting causes more wear and tear on both your engine and tranny? Especially when you're at high rev and you let go, causes you to lunge forward in your seat, shift, and step on the gas, lunges you back and the tranny is alot weaker as well....

Have an AT, sometimes I wish I had a MT but then I remember when I had the 350z MT and let me tell you, it sucked hard going to and from school and to work in traffic. The AT in my RX8 is soooo much better.

I have an auto too...
Question: When in Manual and you are slowing to a stop; do you downshift or just let it downshift for you?
I usually down shift to go faster if I need a higher rpm... I'm new to manual...
