I got a six-speed automatic in my new 2015 Mazda3. I have to travel through New Orleans and Baton Rough frequently which typically have lots of traffic backups, and having an automatic is a pure luxury in the stop-and-start environment.

With 1700 miles on my car so far, my average mileage is about 43 as reported in my Fuelly account. My best trip so far achieved over 46 mpg with almost all highway miles. I may be giving up a few mpgs, but the auto tranny works for me.
