Better fuel efficiency I found an article that talks about that, as well. https://www.edmunds.com/fuel-economy/five-myths-about-stick-shifts.html It said Myth 1. Manual cars always get better fuel economy than cars with automatic gearboxes. In the past, it was pretty much a given that vehicles with manual transmissions would be more fuel-efficient than their automatic counterparts. But as modern automatics gained additional gears and relied less on a torque converter, they have now overtaken manuals in terms of fuel economy. Let's take the 2020 Chevrolet Camaro as an example. With the base four-cylinder engine, the six-speed manual gets an EPA-estimated 23 mpg in mixed driving conditions. The Camaro's automatic transmission, on the other hand, has eight speeds and is estimated to get 25 mpg in mixed driving an 8.7% improvement. I personally dont know much about cars. But I did a google search and this was first. And does seem to support what adjl said. Like about newer cars. It may be true as technology has gotten better... I may check more articles to see if thats the consensus, though... --- Official King of Kings Switch FC: 7216-4417-4511 Add Me because I'll probably add you.
