I'm not saying that it's not a bit of a hassle. But, not enough where it'll steer me away from ever buying a manual again.

I also do exactly what you're saying. But I'm fat and I have crappy knees so having to hit the clutch that often for that long, even with those tricks, is enough to make my knees start to ache.

Try going from top gear to 2nd at 50-60 MPH, which is something you might have to do when passing. The synchronizers synchronize the gears a lot better in that case if you double clutch.

well you have a point, though when it comes to efficiency ive noticed all the automatics have a way lower highway gear than manualcars, which sucks. I would love to have 2k @ 65mph.

I read his post wrong :doh: Generally automatics are rated as equivalent to a manual by the EPA these days. I think in real-world conditions, you can probably still do better with a stick.
