Now a 6 speed transmission with close ratios is good for both keeping the revs up during racing and keeping the revs low for gas mileage.
Thread resurrection...

That depends on what you currently rev at 60mph. I'm turning 2900 in 6th compared to 2600 with the 5spd. Gas millage is roughly the same on the highway and better in the city because I can shift so soon.
