Better change that opinion on the tranies ...
The most modern automatics are coasting OUT of gear when the throttle is released - examples are the VAG DSG-7 and ZF8 in their latest guises.
These are the automatics that were already beating normally driven manuals on the NEDC cycle - even before adding the coasting option.
