Problem is, the dealers around here only seem to get automatics with a lot of options on them.

I am driving an auto, but it does like to sit at 70 mph on the interstate. Must be just a good gearing spot to hold speed and get good gas milage.
What RPMs do the autos run at 70 MPH? My GP is around 2200 RPM at 70 MPH.

I have 7,600 on mine it's still true. If I run 70 on the freeway I'll get 22-25 then 80mph rate around 27-30.... it's very odd, and I even went off the fuel in the tank vs. the computer and it's true!
