Again, as has been said before, the programming on ATs has gotten to the point where the typical AT understands how to get good fuel economy on the EPA cycle, and probably most MT drivers. The EPA test cycle completely murders MT because you're not allowed to shift depending on power demand, only speed.
However, hypermilers all drive stick, even though the ratios are usually shorter
