That's no longer the case, automatics are more fuel efficient, since 2012.

Automatics reliably go into the 100s of thousands of miles now. My last
car went 160k on its CVT and it didn't bat an eyelash. We sold it for an
upgrade, but it was still completely servicable.

I got to 130k miles before my last was totaled, never any problem with the transmission.  Really no major problems with the engine at all.  I remember my first cars were always falling apart and costing so much to repair.  Yes they were used, but they didn't have anywhere near that mileage.
