Did the guy who wrote that article's wife run off with a guy driving a stick shift? He seems to have a serious vendetta against manual transmissions for some reason.

The EPA MPG ratings are garbage, especially for manual cars. I have always been able to blow them out of the water. My old 5 speed Mustang got an EPA estimated 18mpg, I average 22 - 24 MPG out of it.

More than likely his wife could drive a stick and he was jealous

Yes learning to drive one should be a requirement for license
It will educate the drivers or prevent those who shouldn’t
