Your numbers are a little off Gary.
MT: 25mpg EPA Average.
100,000/25 = 4,000 gals
AT: 28mpg EPA Average.
100,000/28 = 3,571 gals
Savings with AT (4,000 - 3,571 =) 429 gals
429 x $3.75 per gallon/premium gas = $1,609 for 100,000 miles.
Note: in real world driving, the difference in MPG AT to MT appears to be much smaller.
