But hurry, summer clearout ends soon. purchase financing Long term fuel savings (NC)-If you are in the market for a new vehicle, one of the choices you will be faced with is whether to opt for a manual or automatic transmission. But did you know that they can also pro vide long-term fuel savings? A typical driver can expect to use 5 to 10 percent less fuel with a manual assuming the trans mission is shifted properly - than if the vehicle had an automatic transmis sion. However, there are exceptions to this rule. The best way to check indi vidual models is to get a copy of Natural Resources Canada's Fuel Consumption Guide, which pro vides fuel consump tion ratings for both types of transmis sions. It is also impor tant to consider your driving patterns and experience. If most of your driving is on the highway, a man ual transmission will generally pro vide the best fuel economy. For city driving, or if you are not confident in your ability to han dle a manual, an automatic transmis sion may be a better choice.
