Yes. You're still hitting the gas to make the car go. It doesn't matter which transmission you have. The saving gas part all depends on the driver. You can drive around in a 6spd in 6th gear doing 25 to 30 mph all day long and have no probs what so ever....just reallllly low rpm's but the car still moves. Either way, the engine is still the same and still takes the same amount of gas....it just differes on how fast the car goes when you hit the gas compared to the manual and gear you're in.
