Comparing my auto pick up to a defender and to my oh's same age manual pick up, mine uses much less fuel than either of them. Perhaps years ago automatics were thirstier but don't think that is necessarily true now.
That may be so but I'm afraid my budget restricts me to older vehicles. I am shortly to take over another of my father's cast offs, a TD5. He's had both auto and manual TD5s and according to him the autos are more thirsty.
