Now excluding modern cars with 6 speed auto gear boxes. In the old falcons with 4 speed auto and 5 speed manual. Would a manual be more fuel efficient? Obv depending on how you drive it would matter a lot but in theory would it be more fuel efficient?

Not necessarily more efficient any more, but definitely a lot more fun.

The little sports car we have would be boring as an auto. The daily driver is an auto and suits the school/work run.

They each have their place, just a shame some newer performance vehicles don't have it as an option anymore.
