Ages ago it benefited your fuel economy. Automatics have become more efficient than they used to be, so the fuel economy benefit is lost. Of course the hybrid market is huge now as well.

@Adogslife I had to read that again to see what you mean!
To me, "fuel economy" means as usually used, miles per gallon - the more miles the better the economy.
So do you mean the economics of the oil industry - the more fuel it sells the healthier its own economy? If so perhaps it and the motor manufacturers had every incentive to build very inefficient vehicles for so long, but I think those days are over, around the world, not only in the USA.
