I agree. A well tuned slush box with a low stall torque converter with a strong lockup clutch (allowing aggressive use without risk of slippage) will do pretty well for mpg. In some vehicles, such as mine, implementing this may be much easier and/or cheaper than converting to a manual. Some vehicles just weren't meant to hold a manual tranny.
