Banning Automatic Transmissions would go a long way to improving Fuel Economy.
So would making Urban Utopia peeps not be able to own a vehicle.

That is an absurd statement! The automatic transmission, when coupled into the vehicle’s PCM, provides better economy that a manual transmission.

Crazy! Backwards. Transmissions today are likely to be more efficient than manuals. Where do we get these weirdos?

Banning Auto Trans would deprive the market of the best anti-theft system out there.

I was always taught that automatic transmissions ate up 35 horsepower from the start.
I have driven both automatics & stick shift vehicles. Got better mileage with the stick shift.
Maybe if people KNEW how to rive a stick shift, they could get better mileage.

I'm not sure that's the case anymore. I was shopping for a compact car a couple of years ago, and I was surprised to find that the fuel efficiency rating for the automatic transmission was 1-2 mpg higher than for the same engine with a manual transmission.
I think the technology in modern powertrains has gotten so advanced, they actually operate better than humans.
