9mpg increase is all well and good with a manual equiped car..but what difference will it make with an Automatic equiped car? (where most of the sales come from).

After all, I would think the difference would be even great with this new engine and going from a 4 speed auto to a 6 speed auto than it would going from a 5 speed manual to a 6 speed manual.
