An apparatus includes a fuel consumption module, a power output module, and a transmission module. The fuel consumption module is structured to monitor a fuel consumption rate of a vehicle. The power output module is structured to determine a power output of an engine of the vehicle. The transmission module is structured to determine a transmission setting of a manual transmission based on a current power output of the vehicle, wherein the determined transmission setting corresponds with the lowest fuel consumption rate. The transmission module is also structured to provide an indication to an operator of the vehicle regarding the determined transmission setting to facilitate operator selection of the determined transmission setting. |
