This isnt always true. Because an auto tranny is computer controlled to shift to give the best gas mileage with the throttle demand. Now with the manual if you shift at like 4 1/2 5k rpms then you will tear through gas a lot quicker than one that shifts at like 3 1/2 4k rpms because of less demand on the fuel...

the geekz0r (11:04:16 PM): so 2nd pulls like 1st in the 5speed, 3rd is like 2nd, etc.
PortugeeTex (11:04:26 PM): so whats 1st like then?
the geekz0r (11:04:49 PM): 1st is like hitting a cheeta in the ass with a tazer
PortugeeTex (11:04:53 PM): lmfao
