MPG on the 6spd (see my sig for configuration) is 1-2 mpg worse than that of the '03s...having said that, I'm getting 17-18mpg with mostly highway, cruise pegged at 55 or so.

I'm getting 17 to 18 highway staying around 70 MPH. If you go over 70 it falls off to 16. The best I got was 20.1 going from Reno to Shasta Lake, I kept to the seed limit because it was raining. All hand calculated though the computer has always been within .5. I currently have 7200 miles on the clock.
