what is more fuel efficient an automatic or manual car?

Modern automatic cars often compete with manuals in fuel efficiency. While traditionally manuals were considered more fuel-efficient, advancements in automatic transmissions, especially continuously variable transmissions (CVTs), have changed that perception. Today's automatics can achieve better or similar fuel economy due to their ability to continuously vary gear ratios and have more forward gears, which helps keep the engine within its optimal RPM range. For instance, automatic cars are designed to select the right gear without driver input, which can lead to better fuel savings[2][4][5].
Overall, in most cases, automatic cars actually use less fuel than their manual counterparts, making the choice less about fuel efficiency and more about personal preference[4][3][1].
