Surprisingly you can get nearly same effect in automatics. I put around 60k miles on my first automatic (after120k+ on my first two cars, manual transmissions) and when i got my brakes checked at 63k they noted my brakes were still "brand new". I do gamify reading traffic to try and brake as little as possible (to help pass time etc), but was still surprised how far this takes you given i do plenty of stop and go traffic driving. This was a v6 sedan so lighter than an suv / truck. I expected it to not work in automatics but it does to at least some extent. I swapped for an EV before taking it the usual distance and curious if anyones pushed further and how far.
