hypermiling potential: automatic vs manual trans

Does anyone have any thoughts on the likely hypermiling potential FE difference between identical cars where one has an automatic transmission and the other has a manual transmission?

I've started looking at a new vehicle and i'm currently looking closely at the 2013 Hyundia 5-door Accent. Both the auto and manual have a 6-speed transmission. I suspect that applying the standard HM techniques to each car that the manual should be able to get better FE, but how much better? 5%, 10%? 20%
