Even with freewheel coasting available from the automatic, as long as the gear ratios between the automatic and manual are the same, intelligent driving techniques will allow you to squeeze better mileage from manual. Unless they have changed the programming from that of the typical automatic, you're still going to have the problem of the automatic revving too high in each gear before shifting to the next when you accellerate at 70%-80% throttle, so you can't get the fuel efficient high load/low rpm acceleration condition that is easy to optain with a manual.
