Fewer than 3% of cars sold in the U.S. have manual transmissions
You&#x27;ll know we&#x27;re serious about climate change when this changes. Manual gets better gas mileage. Sure it might be a small difference but even just 3 miles per gallon is 10% on 30 mpg. Over hundreds of thousands of cars that adds up. But we can&#x27;t be bothered. It&#x27;s an inconvenience. You can&#x27;t drink your soy latte and drive at the same time if the vehicle is manual. I guess you can say it&#x27;s a matter of priorities.
