Two things: When you go to load another game, it automatically saves the current game first. Also, when you go to re-load the current game, it is merely refreshing itself, not going back to a previously saved time. Auto-save is not provided to allow you to "revert" to a previous time (that's what backups are for). Auto-save is a safeguard in the event the game crashes (and perhaps you have not done a backup recently) so you can at least recover at the point that it last auto-saved.

EDIT: Also, when you close down the game, it automatically saves at that point as well.
