I have no drop in performance driving a manual, I don't find it hard work or work of any kind and I'm not a moron for actively choosing and preferring a manual.
Over 32 years of driving manuals and automatics, I don't see a difference given that they both have advantages.
A bit like automatic and manual focus on cameras, both have pros and cons.
As for economy, I can easily get 800+ miles to a tank which would be around double the figure for an XC90 regardless of transmission and probably better than most new cars with their ever increasing emissions regulations.

I can squeeze 550 miles from mine but joking aside you make very interesting points.
