i will mention it to the dealer when i take it in this wknd and 5AT's rule, best of both worlds if you ask me fully auto or semi manual, can't beat that! All my 5ATer's let united to stamp out the 6MTer's! LOL!

Put it in manual mode when passing, thats what i did.

How many miles on your G?
I have my fuel system professionally serviced every 20K miles, it brings the efficiency and power back; Maybe this is what you need.
I get it done at NTB, cost about 90 bucks (negotiated). Ask for pressurized fuel system service, it's worth every penny!

Sad thing is you auto people ARE stamping out MT's. Maybe not for the G specifically but it's getting harder and harder for every make/model vehicle to get a standard tranny. Sometimes I really really hate the U.S.
