Thats a little anecdotal. Honestly, take a look at the ecomodder garage
EcoModder Fleet list - EcoModder.com

skip past the first page of outliers till you get to some cars, and drill down on some of them. The top of the list is completely dominated by manual transmissions knocking EPA figures to the curb.

Manual allows for technique, and for you to use that awesome processor between your ears to make better energy management decisions, and it all becomes second nature in no time.
