Which transmission gives more mileage and why?

371 views

I drive a manual transmission car and I find my mileage to be comparable if not lower to an automatic transmission car. While activating cruise control, my mileage rises by a few kms because of this I have always wondered which transmission for my next car would be the best, considering mileage to be an important factor.

Well, it ought to be obvious that a manual transmission is far more prone to the vagaries of how the driver drives the car than an automatic is. I’m sure that, driven properly, a manual car can easily do better than an automatic, if nothing else than because such a gearbox is usually lighter and thus saves a little bit of weight on the car, saving some fuel as well.
