Yes, it's entirely based on the way people drive if you compare one against another. But if it's comparing 10 against 10, or even 100 against 100, it's not about how a single person drives.

I agree that if you were to compare MPG at 60 mph cruising, AT will be better. I'm just mentioning the real life MPG in fuelly.com. I'm not saying that's 100% true. Just mentioning the results in fuelly.com.
