Missing completely is of course something about CowboyNeal.
I doubt CowbyNeal drives. He would have to come out of his Mom's basement to do that.

It really depends.
During city driving, somewhere between 8/9 and 3/4.
During long-distance Autobahn driving, much closer to 6.
With a pretty girl beside me, one at 6 and the other... well, not on the wheel.

I drove manual for years and I hardly see why your hand needs to be on the shifter at ALL times except maybe during rush hour.

Since I ride a Motorcycle, I deem this NOT Funny as people like you make it more dangerous for riders like me. If you can't drive properly, take a taxi.
Oh yeah. and PUT THAT MOBILE DOWN!

I think the answer is obvious, but since you missed it I'll go ahead and point it out. It's because motorcyclists are much more vulnerable than your average dolt in a car who doesn't realize he or she is not driving a car as much as steering a weapon.

I live on earth and I will decide when this car changes gear. Perhaps a brand new or perfectly maintained automatic is not as bad as they used to be. Perhaps they have got up to the fuel efficiency you describe but there are still some things that brains do better.
I had an automatic some years ago. It was neither new or perfectly maintained. It did give me a free hand when driving. I married the girl and now drive an adult car that lets me control it.

They're actually a lot worse. Not that they don't allow you to frequently exceed manual MPG ratings, they certainly do that.
But transmissions in general have gotten much more complex and much more succeptable to wear and breakage. When the do break, and they will, there aren't many people that can properly recondition them and it's quite expensive besides.
Companies like Dodge which had an absolutely bulletproof 3-speed automatic dating back to the early 1960's now have a 6-speed automatic that is really quite fragile and no manual option...say hello to our good friend planned obsolescence.
