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

[_Qwerty_]

turn off the engine on traffic? diba mas malakas sa gas yun pag ni start mo ulit..

put it in D and drive it like a bumpcar. without the bumping, of course. put it in N when idling in traffic. i turn off the engine if the traffic is bad or the traffic signal is slow in turning.
i have been driving AT for over 5 years now, and i haven't yet been stumped by it.
