Yep, when compared to the manual PX2 at 7.8L/100Km current all up average, the auto PX3 is running 12L/100Km or slightly higher (both vehicles with 3.2L engines). Comparing the rough current cost of fuel burnt only at those consumption figures, the auto is burning around $14,000 or so more diesel every 100,000Km. That is quite significant as far as I'm concerned anyway. Not entirely sure where that extra consumption comes from, as the configuration and loading of the vehicles is similar (mine has a canopy, the PX3 is a wildtrack with the roller lid) and Ford's figures are close for the manual at 7.8L/100Km but way off for the auto PX3 as Ford claims a smidge over 8L all up average...
