Of course it's a psychological flaw. You are one messed up dude, wanting to shift. I know because I have the same flaw and I am way messed up.
Manuals used to be more economical; not so any more, at least not by much. Autos used to be clunky; not so any more. And with traffic like it is in most cities, there's a lot to be said for not shifting; even my hard-core shifting brother-in-law went auto on his newest BMW.
Our 9-5 shifts smooth-as-silk, hardly noticeable unless doing a power down shift, and it gets great mileage. The auto just seems to match up perfectly with the 2.3 engine. It's a great combo. That said, however, I drive the manual shift 9-3 almost exclusively because it's a load more fun to have that control.
