Hah, good one! No, I'm not going to make any videos. But think about it: if you are an automotive engineer building an automatic transmission, you have to program in the shifting algorithm, and you need to make a trade-off between gas mileage and performance. Since you want your car to sell, you bias that trade-off toward mileage, so performance is going to suffer.
But, when you are driving the manual tranny version, and you care more about performance, you keep it in lower gears much longer than the automatic would do. You get some peppy performance, and you get a nice big smile on your face as your vehicle slices and dices through traffic. Of course your MPGs suffer, but so what? I've been getting about 28 mpg in regular city driving, which isn't great, but isn't too bad either. When I head out on the highway, I've been getting between 38 and 42 mpg, which is pretty darn nice!
I just pray that the auto manufacturers never stop building and selling manual transmissions. I guess I'm a libertarian when it comes to my gear ratios.
