In 'real' life,the manual might be more efficient in the right hands,but EPA certification testing rules aren't flexible enough to accommodate this potentiality.
ROAD & TRACK has enlisted a lab to do their mpg testing,using an EPA-like lab strapped onto the car.Perhaps we'll be able to see some back-to-back comparisons over time.
So you implying the manual is the way to go??
