I don't think you'd get that high in the city with an auto from what I've read in other threads (see AT gas milage thread). I have an MT and get about 34 under similar conditions; Freeway only averages about 36-37. I'd guess high 20's in the city with an AT.

Agree with the others on the fun/lack of hassle factor with the MT though - better gas milage and more Zip in the city than the AT.

As others have said, if gas mileage is really a top priority you can't beat a hybrid, although you'd have to run some numbers on how long it would take to recoup the extra cost of one, plus they are less fun to drive for sure (I've driven Prius and Civic Hybrid's ) can't speak for any others....
