One of the differences between manual and automatic transmission vehicles is that:
- Correct answer: Fuel consumption is usually lower for manual transmission vehicles.
- Manual transmission vehicles are noisier.
- Acceleration capacity is lower for manual transmission vehicles.
- Manual transmission vehicles have no clutch pedal.
Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: Fuel consumption is usually lower for manual transmission vehicles.
In a manual gearbox the engine is linked to the wheels mechanically through the clutch, so less energy is lost than in a traditional automatic transmission. That is why fuel consumption is usually lower in manual vehicles. The clutch pedal actually exists in manual vehicles and is missing in automatics, while noise and acceleration are not a typical difference between the two.
