“Since manuals are more fuel efficient you would think there would be more.”

Exactly, my C5 Corvette with a 6 speed manual transmission routinely gets 32 to 34 MPG at 70 mph on my “commute’” from the SF Bay Area down to Monterey. FYI most, if not all of the new Corvettes do not have a gas guzzler tax, and several models have between 500 and 640 Hp.

Interesting... you’re not “commuting” to Laguna Seca by any chance, are you? :)
