<p>[QUOTE="bryan21384, post: 12378334, member: 33397"]A manual don't save fuel any more than an auto does. They go through the gears the same way. A manual doesn't give you any more control than an auto does. You have the ability to control speed in both. The only reason drivers want a manual is too fit "a look." Whatever they think a trucker us supposed to look like, many want to fit the movie mold of a driver. Whether it's a manual or an auto, a driver had to learn how to drive any truck he gets in. In many ways they're all the same, but there are intricacies that create differences between them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
