There are more hypermiling techniques available to the MT driver around town, especially if the car doesn't have throttle by wire. If you get the stick shift, expect to beat EPA City by a larger margin than with the auto.

However, on the highway, you want whichever tranny has lower RPM's at your cruising speed. For Hondas, that's the 5-speed automatic or the CVT.
