Yes, modern autos as compared to the same car model with a manual will net better fuel mileage thanks to computer technology. So what? I don’t drive a stick nowadays for better fuel mileage. I drive a manual because I ENJOY driving a manual.

I’ll make everyone a deal; I’ll let you drive your auto if you’ll let me have my clutch pedal.
