Just got back from 800km highway trip driving my Manual Ralliart with a fair amount of 110km speed limit.

9.5l/100 km versus 9.8l/100 km around town. The gearing in 5th is way too low!

I guess that is the trade off for responsiveness. The cruise control is fantastic when sitting on 2800rpm. Undulating country no issue in 5th. 380 auto on the other hand in and out of 4th with subsequent surging.

Reasonable tradeoff but an extra, higher 6th gear would be nice, say 2000rpm at 100km/hr?

Still amazed with urban economy.
