That's it.
Manuals can be more efficient if driven by someone experienced in using one for fuel efficiency. And everyone neglects the fact that autos have no soul. Who cares about acceleration being 0.1 faster. That puts way less smile on my face than the connection between car and driver a manual provides.

Watch this and don't be the stupid german.
