If you shift between 15-20mph in 1st gear you are forced to 4th. It sucks and it's annoying but pretty easy to avoid.....shift at 21/22mph. Driving up the Rockies from Denver to Idaho Springs on I-70 I got about 23 mpg. Going back down the hill I got 38mpg in 6th at 65mph.

Not sure about the 6th gen but in the 4th gen, you could just briefly have the shifter pop into neutral and then go into 2nd instead of 4th. After a few times it just became second nature and I didn't even notice I was doing it. This was of course before I got s CAGS eliminator.
