  Manual always win in term of consumption. Because auto gear box uses a torque convertor instead of clutch so there is a loss of energy in the process of transmitting the engine power to your wheels.

  To me irregardless manual or auto. its the habit and skill of driving that counts.

  If you are those like to Q at AP, taxi stand, condo, Q, Q, Q type, sure 'consume' more lor.

  Hybrid is the best lah. No need to headache. The microcontroller will decide how & which engine to run. Hot day can still achieve 20~km/l, where to find.

  Hybrid is the way to go besides CNG as far as i am concerned .

  Sadly government do not encourage greener vehicles due to national intere$t .

  Sadly all taxi companies take revenue ahead of environmental issues .

  Hybrid will be ideal if oil prices are low .

  Hybrid will be ideal if no 5-years-contract ,

  Hybrid will be ideal , if TransCab replace their aging Crown .
