29mpg is fine. But i even had 36+ once. Was coming back from a weekend track day in Ft Worth, so NO traffic on hwys. 60~70 degreeas and weather was nice. Drove 55~60mph manually. I stop at Shell next to my place at Plano TX, did calculation myaself at the pump, yep, it was surely 36 plus, beating those Camery family sedans lol. I figured out that it might mostly due to i ran high tire pressures (39ish hot) for track days. And the cat-less, empty trunk and no backseat might helped too =P

I've owned both and love my MR way more than my GSR. Paddles are the future fellas.

In all honesty, I've tried adapting to using the paddles, but I can't do it. Like I'm sure I'm not crazy and it definitely feels like it shifts faster using the paddles, but even so, I just can't get used to shifting with paddles. Just doesn't feel right compared to the stick (no homo).
