I wouldn't John.  The automatic gearbox reduces your fuel efficiency by 
a margin of about 20% in my, admittedly limited, experience.  I would 
really have liked a 5-speed automatic in my little 320d, but it would 
have brought the "combined" mpg down to less than 40 -- versus 50 with 
the 6-speed manual.  Mind you, top gear with the manual is running at 
35mph per 1,000rpm ...
