Is the six speed manual tranny better than the five speed on gasmiles?

The 1/2 inch more of sidewall between the ground and the wheel may have
something to do with it being less jarring. That said, I can't wait to
reduce my sidewalls by going to 15 inch wheels so I can have a decent tire
choice.

I've had people tell me that before, nope, I'm plodding along with very
minor boosts in HP! ......... But I still want a tall 5th gear!

I've noticed that exact thing. The funny thing is I don't feel tall at 6'2"
when I'm around a 5'10" guy but put me next to a 6' 6" guy (same 4" right?)
and I feel like a midget!

That's a pointless, knee-jerk reaction to people using cell phones in cars.
Your concept prevents every passenger in a car, truck, or bus from using
their cell phone while riding.
