I wish they had made 6th and especially 7th on the 7AT a bit "taller". Where they're geared right now, fuel economy drops off too sharply at 80+ mph due to the high revs. A little more gearing and you could save a lot of fuel on highway cruises in the fast lane. Next drive I'll actually remember some specific RPM values in 7th at various speeds, it would be interesting to compare them to where the 6MT guys are sitting at in 6th.
