    I do prefer manuals. But the fuel economy of autos largely surpassed manuals a few years ago. Can’t beat 10 speeds or a cvt with a stick shift.

      For new cars, sure, but I’ll be dammed if I let anyone tell me that my shitbox(es) would be more efficient as an auto

      Yep with CVTs you can basically maintain a constant RPM when driving. There’s no way you can drive manuals as smoothly as a CVT.
