My point is that it takes more effort to rotate the components in the A7 than it does in the 6MT, which results in slightly less power being transmitted to the wheels. The A7, as with most all automatics, "consume" more power than their manual counterparts.

It's just a case of efficiency. The 6MT is more efficient at transferring power through the drivetrain to the wheels than A7.
