Dont think that theres much of a difference really between manual and auto, maybe 8% at best........

If you want to save fuel costs, get a 4 pot or a Prius mate

Can't be as bad as my partners 1.6 auto mazda 3. She get 25 mpg avg. out of it. My 3.0 MV6 does better than that.!!  :o :o

Just for reference, I have checked the 2001 Omega sales brochure I have here and 3.2s are only listed in Auto.......

But as an indicator the 2.6 manuals are only around 2-4mpg better than the 2.6 autos........

yep.. from comparing consumption figures with friends cars the main factors are car weight, gear ratios and driving style.. otherwise roughly a 3 liter engine must consume twice the 1.6 litre engine.. but thats very far from truth.. ( although they have this capability when hammered ;D)
