Modern automatic transmissions can be more economical than a manual of the same model. generally they run a much lower final drive ratio which works in there favour.

Something must be wrong as my FN2R using BP 98 for city driving with plenty of VTEC - I get a minimum of about 440+km with 460 - 480 being the average. Oddly, my trip computer lists my consumption as 9.x most of the time though.

And the FN2R has the same tank size it would seem.

I consistently got 600+km between refils with my FD1 auto & managed to get well beyond 700km on a few occasions.

Dunno how you would put up with it. You'd have to fill up more often.
