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.

I consider mpg numbers for an mt nothing but a ballpark figure, since it's entirely up to the driver how much gas they burn. I've had a 2001 corolla as my backup car for years, and it's supposed to be a little over 8L per 100km and I average 5.5 without even babying it.
