If you love the gas mileage, it is probably because of the transmission. They do have hesitations here and there, as they try to run as economically as possible. I have noticed this in many different cars with electronically controlled automatics. You can always switch to a car with a CVT in it, and then you won't get any shifting jerks and hesitations.

I have a 2012 Focus. It doesn't have transmission problems, it's an automated-manual transmission.
