You can drive a manual very efficiently. My Forester has a display showing instantaneous efficiency. I can increase mileage by a third by paying close attention to it. But that means driving very conservatively, which I'd never do without the display to remind me.

Since I have bought a manual car, my efficiency has gone down by a ridiculous amount.

Fortunately the fun factor has gone up by the same amount so I don't care...
