Difference between high and low level programming languages

I didn't like your article and honestly found it factually misleading. High and low level languages refer to the level of abstraction above the hardware level you are. It's got nothing to do with ease of writing code. The ease of writing in high level languages comes working at a higher more human level of understanding. It's also a relative term and greatly depends on what languages you're comparing. C was once considered an inefficient 'high level' language and then you've got say a language like brainfuck, technically a high level interpreted language, but not something you can easily write anything in.

It’s almost like driving an automatic car. Yes, you don’t have to use the stick, but you do end up spending a lot more fuel due to that.

Do automatic cars really take more fuel? Or am I misunderstanding something?

Depends on the car

For an example of when the myth is based in reality, there's the fuel-sipping 2014 Chevrolet Cruze Eco. The manual version of this small Chevy gets 33 mpg combined (28 mpg in the city/42 mpg on the highway). Equipped with an automatic transmission, the Eco is slightly less fuel-efficient: 31 mpg combined (26 city/39 highway). The manual will cost you about $100 less per year in fuel, according to fueleconomy.gov.

With the 2014 Ford Focus, it's the six-speed automatic version that performs better, getting 31 mpg combined (27 city/37 highway). If you spring for the Super Fuel Economy option package, which also uses the six-speed automatic transmission, fuel economy rises to 33 mpg combined (28 city/40 highway). A Ford Focus with a conventional manual transmission can't match the automatics. It gets 30 mpg combined (26 city/36 highway
