What's your actual MPG? There's no good way to tell how much 3/4 a tank is since gas gauges are never accurate.
As for pickup... there's not much of a way around it without investing lots of money. I hate it sometimes too, especially when I have to crawl up some of the hills here in CT because of the awkwardly spaced gearing. 1st is too short, but when you're climbing a hill in 2nd sometimes it can be agonizingly slow until you hit the powerband around 4-5k rpm. I have a MT so I don't know how the gearing is for AT's on hills. I've just learned to conserve momentum so I can climb hills with just a downshift.
