Battle of the Transmissions: M/T vs. A/T

[jut703]

Biggest factor is WEIGHT; an A/T car weighs more than its M/T equivalent. More weight = more effort from the engine to propel the car, therefore more fuel consumed.

Nope. Usual difference of MT vs AT is less than 50 kilos. Kumbaga para ka lang may sakay na bata with an AT car. That isn't enough to explain the usual 1-2 km/L difference of an MT and AT car.

It has more to do with the fact that there is just more power loss from engine to wheels with an AT than an MT.
