  Economic sense for the company, but not for the customer's pocket right? 

  
  i feel that with a 5th additional gear in the auto box.. the difference in FC is quite minimal...

  and true... torque convertor can be inefficient at times.. but there are some torque convertors that "lock up" when cruising at high speeds... so as to minimize FC...

  and besides... the last time when jazz boast of its FC.. it centred ard the engine itself... not the gearbox...

  Okay, fair enough. And yeah, the Jazz's 5AT has a lock-up clutch.
