j You can find the information you're looking for in our "Trends" Report: https://www.epa.gov/fuel-economyj trends/download~report~co2-and~fuel~economy~trends
j Table 5.4 on page 86 has the breakdown of manual versus automatic transmissions for every year. There is j also some additional analysis on transmissions, including manuals, on pages 79-83.

Hello,
I am a freelance journalist working on a piece on manual vs. automatic transmission cars. I saw EPA statistics on the percentage of manual cars sold in this US News story --https://cars.usnews.com/cars-trucks/best-carsblog/2016/09/whv-are-manual-transmissions-disappearing --but could not find the statistics the piece cites on the EPA.gov website.
Would you be able to send me, or point me to, the latest statistics on sales of manual vs. automatic cars. Also, any data for past years would be greatly appreciated.
I am on deadline, so it would be great if you could get back to me by end of day tomorrow (3/28/18). Thanks!
Best,
Mark Yarm
