Default Re: Looking to buy a 2004 / 2005 Limited Coupe

Mine's a 2007 Limited 6-Speed. Using premium with no ETOH, I recently kept track for over 2000 miles. Rarely go over 100 mph, hit 80-90 a lot........25.8 mpg. 85% hwy. It would be much better if I could control myself.....but I can't.......I think gas would have to hit $10 / gal before I'd slow down.

Trick with this stick is to keep the RPMs up & don't let off the gas between shifts....if you do it right.....it's serious fun. Last thing you want to do is ....say you're coming up to a 90 degree turn....you take your foot off the gas......clutch in.....turn......move it into 2nd.......IF you don't have those RPMs up when let out that clutch...."clunk". Gotta rev-match.
