 Automatic vs Manual of the same car - diddy1234
Are there any Automatic cars that are more fuel efficient than the manual version of the same car (with the same engine) ?

What with CVT and the like, I would have thought gear ratios could be more closely related to the engines characteristics.

Feel free to correct me, but wasn't the original mini more fuel efficient in auto form ?
