You asked a question, and you got an answer. It's nobody else's problem but your own if you're not satisfied with it. For what it's worth, I'm not in 5th until 40+ MPH anyway. I don't see why you're pissing and moaning about an automatic doing what it's suppose to do at low speeds and low temp/op conditions. The quicker the engine reaches optimal temp, the quicker it gets to max efficiency. Modifying the programming to get into 4th as quick as possible under cold conditions will result in it taking LONGER to reach optimal temp, and thus burning more fuel anyway, defeating the entire purpose. You got 28 MPG for a variety of other reasons. Not because you can't get into 4th for one mile of your seven mile commute.

Well maybe I can get YOU to put your money where your mouth is. Drive for a tank of gas in fourth gear of your manual trnasmission and tell us what mileage you get.
We trust you to tell the truth!

If this mod proves possible I will post my results also. Then we will see what is what.
