Well, yes, there is...they claim 17-21 mpg, and boast that they have gotten 21 mpg when their foot is not too heavy...or something like that. 21? Is the automatic that bad?

that's really weird. do they think that's good mileage? i wonder if it's a typo. if not, there's definitely something wrong there. the automatics aren't THAT bad.

stop and go driving in heavy traffic can be that low with the auto. Not a bad price if you want an auto trans Tercel.

Driving my auto makes me think there's a hole in my gas tank. It's not as economical as my five speed was.
