Average MPG would go up and eventually the EPA would fix the biased rating system to match real world mileage. The EPA adjusted MPG ratings in 2008 now favor automatics even though manuals still score better in the Euro and JPN cycle. Manuals were beating automatics in the past but now it's not unusual to see a manual with far shorter gearing getting the same MPG as the more ideally geared automatics even dry clutch autos. Progress?
