An auto transmission can't be as a efficient as a direct
gear connected drive.

You're thinking of an old school 3 speed slushbox. I drove a new 8 speed Kluger today, can hardly hear the engine and the transmission is in the perfect gear every moment. Lovely.

In theory, no.

In practise, they may be or the difference might be insignificant.

I was referring to the fluid drive auto transmissions.
They don't connect via gears but they use hydraulic fluid.
Those auto transmissions get very hot and they
waste a lot of energy.

yes, the auto transmissions can get hot, when driven badly.

They don't waste a lot of energy.

fuel consumption of newish autos is quite similar to manuals in the same model car.
