It all depends on how you drive the car. The reason why you cna be able to save more gas with a manual is because you can choose the RPM level that you shif at so as long as you shift at a low RPM then you won;t be wasting gase. If you accelerate slowly with an automatic you will get a similar effect. I beleive that it simply comes down to preference. I prefer manuals myself.

Most cars sold in the United States since the 1950s have been equipped with an automatic transmission. This has, however, not been the case in Europe and much of the rest of the world. Automatic transmissions, particularly earlier ones, reduce fuel efficiency and power. Where fuel is expensive and, thus, engines generally smaller, these penalties are more burdensome. In recent years, automatic transmissions have significantly improved in their ability to support high fuel efficiency but manual transmissions are still generally more efficient. (This balance may finally shift with the introduction of practical continuously variable transmissions.
Most automatic transmissions have a set selection of possible gear ranges, often with a parking pawl feature that will lock the output shaft of the transmission.

What type of transmission fluid is recommended for a 1993 saab 900s convertable?

The basic answer is yes. The technical answer is it depends on who is stomping or feathering the clutch.
Ok, that is not too technical, but it is the fact.

As a rule an automatic transmission will get worse fuel economy than a car with a manual transmission because the automatic transmission is basically a hydraulic pump and it takes as much as 40 horsepower to run that pump. Smaller transmissions take less HP but they all lose HP to the pump which leaves less to move the car. It used to be that there were losses due to the slippage in the torque converter but now we have locking torque converters that have eliminated that slippage.
