Depends.

Will the engine revving higher bother you?  It doesn't bother me, but 
it makes some people nuts, particularly if they are accustomed to 
modern cars and their slow-turning engines at highway speeds.

Will the fractionally lower gas mileage bother you?  It didn't bother 
me, until the latest run-up in gas prices...
