    Go for an auto if you want cheaper to run. Typically you are doing near enough to 1000rpm less at the open road speed limit. I hate autos but my next one will probably be an auto. They are easier for shooting from.

    That would only work if mostly open road Km ....older autos suck for economy.
    That's why they used to call manuals 10 percenters. 10 percent better economy and resale

    The Safari was pretty economical. Probably about 2/3 the fuel consumption of the manual Bighorn. I know people with heavy feet that get substantially better economy from their auto Bighorns than I do from my manual. A lot depends on how heavy the drivers right foot is.
