Finally swapped the 5 speed in and wow what a difference! The car now feels much quicker and way more fun to drive and my MPG improved from about 31 at best with the auto to 38 consistently over 2 tanks of doing the same kind of driving with no special techniques. How I picked up ~7 MPG just from changing a transmission I have no idea but I'll take it! I think there's more in it too. Once I learn what shift points and RPM it likes, get a proper alignment, and have the proper 5 speed ECU flashed and installed so I can coast properly I think I will easily be getting 40+ MPG with this transmission.
