I'd take an SS Auto over the clutcher any day, especially living in SoCal. Saves me a little extra at the pump AND I still get to control the gears. I've driven stick before, and I'm not great at it and neither do I aspire to be. For me an auto does the trick. I know Chevy released preliminary fuel economy numbers for the SS but was it the auto or the stick? I think it was the auto?
EDIT: Found this on the Camaro webpage from Chevy.com

So there's no real savings with either transmission, they're the same. I'm sure things will change after EPA runs their numbers. Then we'll have a more "accurate" reading of what we can expect in real world driving.
