I agree with these posts. I'm not sure what the specific gearing on the automatic transmission is. But if your swap is going to make your car hum along like a buzzsaw on the freeway, you are going to see a decrease in fuel economy. And someone is really, however, the main advantage of a manual transmission is the ability the cut the fuel injectors and Coast, to do the so-called pulse and glide technique. So it's true that in the city with a manual transmission you'll be able to get better gas mileage in an automatic almost no matter what manual transmission you have. It's just nothing better than for gas mileage averages than Infinity.
